Distinguished Faculty and Staff 2010

Plymouth State University is an extraordinary regional comprehensive university, with first-rate teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, informed by excellent scholarship, creativity, and research, accompanied by an energy and enthusiasm for engagement with our communities, region, and world. Faculty and staff members are committed to student success, to innovation, and to service: PSU is higher education working on the ground.

In what follows, you will meet some of the people who make that excellence happen, who spend their lives transforming the lives of others. These professionals come from across the campus; what they share is that they have been honored by their peers with University awards this year. They are the faces and voices of PSU, and as you read their stories, we hope you appreciate the dedication, enthusiasm, and joy that they bring to campus each day.

On behalf of many whose lives they have touched, I would like to thank these award winners for their fine work and welcome our readers to this glimpse of PSU’s richness and vitality.
