The CU Parents Association has awarded 15 faculty and staff members at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder with the Marinus G. Smith Recognition Award.
The purpose of the award is to identify and recognize CU-Boulder faculty, instructors and staff who have made a significant impact on the lives of one or more CU-Boulder undergraduates.
The 2003 recipients include Randolf Didomenico, senior instructor of environmental, population and organismic biology; Lisa Hutton, adviser at the Leeds School of Business; Joseph Michl, biochemistry professor; Raymond MacFee, senior accounting instructor at the Leeds School of Business; Alphonse Keasley, director of the Minority Arts and Sciences Program; Brian Argrow, aerospace engineering professor; and Timothy Morton, English professor.
Other recipients are Eric Tippeconnic, Upward Bound academic coordinator at the Student Academic Services Center; Jonathan David Harris, instructor at the College of Music; Alan Lester, geological sciences instructor; Tom Davinroy, geography instructor for the Baker Academic Program; Kathleen Campbell, communications instructor; Leslie Irvine, assistant professor of sociology; Beth Krensky, International and National Service Training instructor at the School of Education; and Norman Aaronson, attorney and instructor at the School of Law.
The award, now in its third year, is named for Marinus G. Smith, a Colorado pioneer who made significant financial and land donations to the university to locate in Boulder at the base of the Flatirons.
According to Peter Simons, director of CU-Boulder's Office of Parent Relations, students were asked to nominate candidates who were deserving of this recognition during Parents Weekend last fall. The awards will be presented in a ceremony on April 5 at 11 a.m. at the University Club.
