An Exceptional Professor Award for the Honors College for the Fourth Annual ASWSU Faculty Staff Appreciation Awards was received by Dr. Lydia Gerber, Director of the Asia Program.
She also received an Honors Faculty Fellowship:
“Many WSU faculty members who are not housed in the Honors College make significant contributions to the mission of the Honors College. To acknowledge the contributions of these faculty, the Honors College created the courtesy title of Honors Faculty Fellow in 2015. Honors Faculty Fellows have the opportunity to apply for funding from the Honors College to support enhancement activities related to their appointment, such as developing a new faculty-led program or attending workshops and conferences related to their research or teaching. Generous support comes from the Jonas family. Honors Faculty Fellow appointments will be for an initial duration of three years; appointments may be renewed for further terms with approval from the Dean.”
Dr. Gerber also became a member of the Honors Council, the faculty advisory board of WSU’s Honors College. This is a 3-year appointment.
