Dean's Scholars recognized
Dean’s Scholars receive a $5,000 discretionary fund for each of two years, which they may use for "any appropriate professional reason," including equipment, travel, supplies, or other support for teaching and research initiatives.
Dean’s Scholars are selected by a committee after reviewing application materials submitted by interested tenured associate professors. The committee forwards recommendations to Linda Maxson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, for final approval.
Dean’s Scholars awards are made possible through the UI Alumni Association’s endowment of the Dean’s Chair in the College of Liberal Arts. The endowment, managed by the University of Iowa Foundation, provides funds for the dean to use for special projects within the college.
"These Dean’s Scholars, along with the first four Scholars named last year, represent some of the best teachers and mid-career scholars in the college," Maxson said. "I’m pleased to be able to present these awards to recognize excellence and support the professional growth of our faculty members. I’m grateful to the Alumni Association for making these awards possible with its endowment of the Dean’s Chair."
