other CoEdu professors who have shared this honor over the past decade:

The presidential scholar award is accompanied by $10,000 in funding, provided by an anonymous donor, each year for three years. The U hopes that this will recognize the achievements of mid-career faculty, support efforts to further their research missions and enhance retention.
