Smith &lt;fashr(a)fas.harvard.edu&gt; Date: Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 9:12 AM Subject: Recipients of the 2016 Dean's Distinction Award To: aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to announce the recipients of the 2016 Dean's Distinction. This award honors our highest-achieving FAS staff members, whose contributions, citizenship, and skillful collaboration have delivered outstanding results for the FAS and SEAS in 2015. This year, we celebrate the accomplishments of 38 individual honorees and four teams. This year's recipients made remarkable contributions in the areas of student life, faculty support, continuing education, library services, information technology, research, and administration. Among other things, they helped to build partnerships across schools, supported a new dean, focused on the safety of minors in our athletics programs, and guided students through changing academic requirements and new systems. They kept our buildings and our museums in top shape, improved administrative processes for incoming and existing students, and brought new technology and instructional tools into our classrooms, labs, and libraries. 2016 recipients collaborated broadly, focused on inclusion, and were committed to delivering excellence in all that they accomplished. The team recipients developed a new and inclusive event for all students at the College; developed comprehensive, multimedia museum exhibits that engaged Harvard and public audiences; secured continued accreditation for SEAS engineering programs; and worked together to communicate, advise, and report on a range of Title IX developments and issues. Reading the accounts of the achievements of this year's recipients, one cannot help but be inspired, not only by what they have been able to accomplish, but also by their creativity, generosity of spirit, and commitment to the institution. I am truly grateful to each of this year's recipients for the remarkable positive impact they made on the FAS. I hope you will join me in congratulating each individual listed below.
