Alma College seniors recognized Dr. Kay Grimnes, Dr. Mark Seals and Dr. Robert Vivian with Outstanding Faculty Awards at Honors Convocation April 7. Dr. John Rowe was named Outstanding Junior Faculty by his colleagues.
The Outstanding Faculty Award recognizes the impact of faculty on the quality of students’ education. The awards are chosen by a vote of the senior class members in March with one recognition in each of the College s academic divisions.
Grimnes, professor of biology, represents the life sciences division; Seals, assistant professor of education, represents the social science division; and Vivian, assistant professor of English, represents the humanities division.
The Outstanding Junior Faculty Award demonstrates the confidence in and commitment to those faculty who have served a short time at Alma College. Rowe, associate professor of biology, was nominated by tenured faculty and chosen by the Provost with advice from the Faculty Personnel Committee and in consultation with the College President.
