Buxbaum Named Academic Leadership Program Fellow
Associate Dean for Research and Louis F. Neizer Faculty Fellow Hannah Buxbaum
was one of five IU faculty members named 2007-08 Academic Leadership Program Fellows.
Jeanne Sept, associate vice provost for academic affairs and dean of the faculties, said the five were nominated and chosen "because their records of scholarship and significant university service point to their growing achievements as academic leaders."
Each year, IU selects faculty with distinguished leadership abilities to participate in the Academic Leadership Program. The Program is sponsored by the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) - a consortium of the 11 Big Ten conference universities and the University of Chicago.
Buxbaum is accompanied by professors Matt Auer, Barbara Bichelmeyer, Tom Gieryn, and Genevieve Manset Williamson, who were also chosen as 2007-08 Fellows.
