CTLT Awards Go to Four Faculty Members
July 20, 2020
The Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) has presented awards to four faculty members, for outstanding scholarship.
The winners are:
- Dr. Michael Figuccio, Psychology. Award for Innovative Pedagogy, in recognition of his work on service learning and e-service learning in the Psychology curriculum. He was the first faculty member in the department to offer service-learning opportunities in his Atypical Development course, and created e-service-learning opportunities in which students virtually mentor children with disabilities.
- Dr. Sayeedul Islam, Psychology. Award for Outstanding Faculty Mentorship, in recognition of his mentorship of student research in the Industrial/Organizational Psychology research lab. A recent graduate mentored by Dr. Islam stated: “My entire mentorship experience thus far with Dr. Islam has been valuable and unforgettable.”
- Dr. Bryan Field, Physics. Award for Outstanding Scholarly Publication in STEM, for his article, “Constructive Standard Model,” published in Physical Review D. Dr. Field says “this paper gives a concrete and explicit example of how to build particle interactions without a quantum field theory. This is the beginning of a large research agenda and is the first of its kind.”
- Dr. Ebru Ulusoy, Business Management. Award for Outstanding Scholarly Publication in Social Sciences or Humanities, for her article, “Inter-Generational Pendula (IGP): Toward a Theory of Immigrant Identity, Materialism and Religiosity.” Dr. Ulusoy says “this research investigates three central immigrant consumer values – materialism, religiosity, and ethnic identification – across multiple generations to develop a better understanding of the complex natures of immigrant populations and their adjustment to the host culture and economy.”
