As we bring another academic year to a close, it is important that we acknowledge the many contributions our faculty made to the University and, in particular, to the education of our students. Collectively, your work is what makes Missouri State University such an outstanding institution of higher learning. Permit me to offer my sincere appreciation for all your contributions.
Although it is impossible to recognize the significant work of everyone, I would like to acknowledge many of those who recently have received various individual awards. Some of these faculty were recognized during the All-Faculty Recognition Reception, however, because many were unable to attend that function, I’d like to re-affirm my appreciation for their accomplishments.
Please understand that the following list does NOT include those recognized for their years of service to the University, nor does it include internal or external grants, faculty fellowships, sabbaticals, and research accomplishments. This list also does not include recognitions of dedicated staff members who have made many fine contributions to students and the academic community. Please know that all of these things are important and are valued.
Please join me in congratulating your cohorts for their impressive accomplishments.
I hope everyone has a restful and productive summer.
