Touro Holds Inaugural Presidential Awards for Faculty Excellence
Recognizing Excellence in Teaching, Scholarship and Service
A select group of faculty was honored by Touro senior academic leadership on June 14 as the inaugural recipients of Presidential Awards for Faculty Excellence were bestowed. Nine faculty members were honored for their excellence in three areas: teaching, scholarship/research, and service.
Touro College and University System President, Dr. Alan Kadish, introduced each of the faculty members, reviewing their professional contributions to Touro College, our students and to the community at-large. “It is not only appropriate, but it is important for the College to recognize and reward excellence among our faculty. I am pleased that the Office of Provost has launched this initiative and I look forward to continuing to highlight the stellar accomplishments of our professors.”
Each recipient received an engraved medal that can be worn on their academic regalia and a monetary award in recognition of their outstanding accomplishments.
