Four MSRC faculty were among those acknowledged last month at the 10th annual Faculty Achievement Dinner held at the Old Field Club on November 9 and hosted by Provost Robert McGrath. The dinner, organized by the Office of Conferences and Special Events, recognizes Stony Brook University faculty who have received prestigious awards, honors and fellowships during the past fiscal year.
MSRC had more faculty recognized than any other single academic unit on campus. Distinguished Professor Cindy Lee was recognized both for her appointment as a Geochemistry Fellow by the European Association of Geochemistry and the Geochemical Society, and as President-Elect of the Ocean Sciences Section of American Geophysical Union; Professor Marvin Geller was acknowledged for becoming a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union; Professor Nicholas Fisher was lauded for his John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship; and, Professor Malcolm Bowman was recognized as a Distinguished Service Professor.
MSRC’s Dean and Director David Conover said, “I am pleased that the achievements of our stellar faculty have been recognized by the scientific community and Stony Brook. The large number of awardees from MSRC is vivid evidence of the high stature of our organization on this campus and in the international arena.”
