Faculty Research Lecturer Award

The Faculty Research Lectureship is awarded annually to the faculty member determined to be the most distinguished for research or other creative achievement. Candidates are nominated by their peers, and the final selection is made by an Academic Senate committee consisting of the previous 5 Faculty Research Lecturers. This award is considered to be the highest honor the UCSB faculty can bestow on one of its members. |

Dave Cowen
Electrical and Computer Engineering "It's difficult not to sound overly effusive when writing a letter about Dave, so I'll just string together some of his characteristics and not try to choose which qualifiers like extremely, unusually, especially, etc., to prepend to each: outgoing, enthusiastic, smart, bright, hard-working, concerned, involved, independent, initiative-showing, promising..." -more- |

Matthew Sutton
History "Matthew Sutton has a real gift in the classroom. I have observed him teach sleepy students, stressed-out students, post-midterm and low-energy students, students who were frightened about the final exam, and a room full of energetic honors students, ready to debate Matt on the subject of eighteenth-century religious fervor, a topic near to Matt's heart." -more- |
