Dr. Camille Tessitore King receives the McEniry Award during the Spring Commencement 2011
This year Doctors J. Anthony Abbott, Associate Professor of Geography, and Paul Croce, Professor of American Studies, were each awarded with Hand Awards for Research, Creative and Professional Activity. The Hand Community Impact Award was given to Dr. Jamil Khader, Associate Professor of English. Their extensive research and hard work as well as devotion and creativity both in, and out, of the classroom contributed to this achievement.
Stetson College of Law alumna Dolly Hand and her husband, Homer, established the awards to applaud faculty members who are not only dedicated teachers but who also have notable achievements in scholarship or creative work in their areas of expertise and who have made a difference in their local or larger communities. This year’s awards were presented at Spring Commencement. Read more about this year’s Hand award recipients here.
