Professors recognized with money, awards
Two University professors each received a $5,000 award Friday night at the 23rd annual meeting of the Chancellors Club, a major donor of the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Glen K. Andrews, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University Medical Center, was awarded the 2000 KU Chancellors Club Research Award for his pioneering work in gene research.
Andrews' work focuses on gene regulation — the way a cell senses and compensates for changes in its environment. He also works on metal deficiency and toxicology, which can affect the immune and reproductive systems.
The research award is peer-nominated. "It means a lot to receive the recognition of your peers and know they appreciate your research," said Andrews, who has been a professor at the Med Center since 1984.
Robert D. Brown, professor of mathematics, received the 2000 Chancellors Club Career Teaching Award for his exemplary teaching.
In addition to mentoring new instructors, he has taught introductory courses, calculus, engineering and science math, as well as courses for graduate students.
Brown, a University of Kansas faculty member since 1963, was nominated by his students and colleagues, who said he consistently made time for students outside of class and worked to make sure everyone understood class concepts.
"When you love what you do, it's great to have people tell you that you've done a good job," he said.
Ten freshmen named Chancellors Scholars
Ten freshman were honored as Chancellors Club Scholars, which recognizes National Merit finalists who have outstanding high school records
Five students from Kansas and five out-of-state students received the renewable scholarships Friday at the 23rd annual meeting of the Chancellors Club, the major-donor organization at the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Kansas recipients are Kendra Rebecca Knight, Baldwin City; Asma Latif, Overland Park; Sean C. Murray, Topeka; Andrew Henry Ralls, Mission Woods; and Chase Richards, McPherson.
Out-of-state recipients are Megan DesCamps, Aberdeen, S.D.; Cara Elizabeth Maple, Bartlesville, Okla.; Matthew James Pirotte, Joplin, Mo.; David Adam Putensen, Lincoln, Neb.; and Kavdee Smith, Omaha, Neb.
Chase Richards, McPherson freshman, who is studying English, creative writing and languages, said he was surprised when he found out he'd received the award.
"I don't know what their criteria were," Richards said. "I just thought it was nice that there seemed to be even more support for academics coming from the University."
