Eight women faculty members at Case Western Reserve University will be honored
for their excellence in research and scholarship at the first annual Spotlight
Series Awards for Women’s Scholarship during a reception Thursday, December
1 from 4:30-6 p.m. in the 1914 Room of the Thwing Center, 11111 Euclid Avenue,
Cleveland.
The honorees, representing each of the university’s graduate and professional
schools, will receive a certificate and a $250 prize. The event is funded by
the Mather Centennial Celebration endowment, which the Flora Stone Mather Alumnae
Association gave to the university in 1989. Flora Stone Mather College for
Women was one of Case’s predecessor institutions.
Dorothy Miller, director of the Flora Stone Mather Center for Women, said
the center has been fulfilling the endowment’s purpose of highlighting
the research of university women via a yearly lecture series at which women
faculty discuss their work. “This year we decided to take spotlights
to a higher level by adding a monetary prize for scholarship, in addition to
the lecture series,” she said. “We asked the schools to select
an outstanding woman researcher, with no criteria except that the prize should
be based on scholarly or creative work.” Winners were chosen by school
deans.
This year’s honorees are:
- Kathleen Farkas, associate professor in the
Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences
- Marion Good, professor in the Frances Payne Bolton School of
Nursing
- Yiping
Weng Han, associate professor of biological sciences in the School of
Dental Medicine
- Anne Hiltner, the Herbert Henry Dow Professor of Macromolecular
Science and Engineering in the School of Engineering
- Sharona Hoffman, professor of
law and associate director of the Law-Medicine Center in the School of
Law, and professor of bioethics in the School of Medicine
- Kathleen
Kash, professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences
- Lisa
M. Maillart, assistant professor of operations in the Weatherhead School
of Management
- Patricia Marshall, associate professor of bioethics in
the School of Medicine
Presenting the awards with Miller will be Robert Savinell, dean and
George S. Dively Professor of Engineering in the School of Engineering; Mark
Turner, dean and professor of cognitive science in the College of Arts and
Sciences; May Wykle, dean and Florence Cellar Professor of Nursing in the
