Outstanding faculty honored
    On April 14, Temple honored nine outstanding educators and researchers at its 2005 Faculty Awards Convocation.

    Three were named Great Teachers, an award that carries a stipend of $15,000; Great Teachers also receive a commemorative sculpture created by professor Stanley Lechtzin of the Tyler School of Art, and their names are engraved in the wall of Founders Garden.

    Among the awardees were two psychology professors, including that department’s fifth Great Teacher in 11 years; two teachers from the School of Medicine, including the medicine department’s second Great Teacher in five years; and two teachers from the College of Science and Technology, including the math department’s fourth Great Teacher in 10 years.
