Chancellor Robert Hemenway and the surprise patrol continued to hand out Kemper Awards this week. As of yesterday, 17 professors have received awards, with three left to go.
Along with the Lawrence campus, three professors at the KU medical centers in Kansas City and Wichita will also receive awards. The William T. Kemper Awards, each worth $5,000, recognize outstanding teachers and advisors.
On Monday, Hemenway and his patrol surprised three faculty members. The recipients were Danny Anderson, professor and chair in the department of Spanish and Portuguese; Monica Biernat, professor of psychology; and David Cateforis, associate professor of art history.
The recipients of Tuesday's awards were Yolanda Jackson, associate professor of applied behavioral science; Stephen D. Smith, professor of pediatrics; and Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy.
Yesterday was the final day for handing out awards on the Lawrence campus. The Lawrence campus' final recipients of the year were Matt Jacobson, assistant professor of
theater and film; Rita Napier, associate professor of history; and Debora M. Ortega, associate professor of social welfare.
According to Dan Lara, spokesman for University Relations, the three remaining awards will be handed out in September.
September.
He said one award would be handed out Wednesday, Sept. 1, at the Kansas City Medical Center; one on Wednesday, Sept. 22, at the Wichita Medical Center; and the final award would be handed out Tuesday, Sept. 28, back at the Kansas City Medical Center.
In all, $100,000 will be distributed through the Kemper Awards this year.

Calhoun's experience with the project reminded her how important it is for students to care and make their voices heard.

Gray Panthers, one of her heroes.
The Gray Panthers are a cross-generational group of activists dedicated to social change, said Calhoun.
Burdett Loomis, professor and chair of political science, said that many students weren't as interested in the political process because they didn't have a lot of interaction with government.
"One becomes more political as one becomes more involved," Loomis said. "Students just don't have as much of a stake in government."
He guessed that students would get more involved if government affected them more on a daily basis. A military draft could incite students to get involved, he said, particularly if there were no student deferments.
Loomis said some students chose to get involved because they saw something that affected them profoundly or interested them somehow, but that they were in the minority.
