裸聊直播, East Bay has presented five faculty members with a Provost’s Award for outstanding achievement in the categories of Outstanding Researcher, Tenured; Outstanding Researcher, Untenured; Outstanding Contributor to Community Engagement; Outstanding Faculty Mentor; and Outstanding Scholar on Issues of Diversity, Social Justice and Multiculturalism.

The awards, now in their third year at 裸聊直播, were presented to the professors at the University Union as part of a ceremony commemorating CSUEB's 3rd Annual Week of Scholarship. “We should always find time to celebrate those who are consistently publishing, serving our community, and creating new opportunities for our students,” Provost James Houpis said. “The Week of Scholarship gives us a chance to collectively gather and recognize our outstanding faculty who are doing great work in and out of the classroom.”

In addition to the Provost’s Awards, University Libraries also honored 30 faculty authors and artists.

The Provost's Award winners include:

Cristian Gaedicke, an assistant professor of engineering, received the Outstanding Researcher award for untenured faculty. He has written several articles and grants in the areas of sustainability, risk management and engineering education. Since coming to the Department of Engineering at 裸聊直播, Gaedicke has published four journal articles, received the Alan Khade Best Paper Award, successfully procured funding from the Chevron Foundation, and written about diverse topics such as pervious concrete and sustainable construction. He has presented his research at national conferences and also spoken to middle school and high school students about the engineering profession.

Kinesiology professor Penny McCullagh was also selected as Outstanding Researcher, representing the tenured faculty. She is internationally recognized for her research, which focuses primarily on observational learning within the psychology of physical activity. Her first publication in 1974 was a result of her undergraduate work, and she has published continually since that time. McCullagh came to CSUEB as chair of the Department of Kinesiology in 1999 and, despite demanding administrative duties during four terms, has continued to engage in scholarly activities and include students in much of her work. She is a fellow in the National Academy of Kinesiology and American Psychological Association and has been president of four national societies.

In the category of Outstanding Contributor to Community Engagement, Assistant Professor Rose Wong was selected for her work on mental health issues within the local Asian immigrant community. Working with a team of 16 volunteers, including health and mental health professionals and community members, Wong has been instrumental in making available a series of free Chinese language videos, brochures and posters that social workers, primary care physicians, teachers and others can use to help educate immigrants on depression and reduce the stigma of mental illness.

Associate Professor Eric Kupers, who teaches in the Department of Theatre and Dance, was awarded Outstanding Scholar on Issues of Diversity, Social Justice and Multiculturalism. An award-winning dancer and choreographer, Kupers focuses on inclusive performance, helping students with and without physical and intellectual disabilities to explore their creative potential. Most recently, Kupers worked with students on the autism spectrum from 裸聊直播’s College Link Program. In 2008 he created the Inclusive Interdisciplinary Ensemble, a creative laboratory for individuals of any size, ability/disability, background, ethnicity, gender or training to learn to collaborate on dance, music and theater performances.

The final award, Outstanding Faculty Mentor, was given to Assistant Professor of Kinesiology Jenny O. Kinesiology has nearly 800 majors and she has taken on the challenge of mentoring a large number of students in research as well as academic life. She was instrumental in developing the Kinesiology Research Group that meets weekly and engages at least 30 students (graduate and undergraduate) in the research process. She guides students on critical and creative thinking, as they develop written, oral, and professional skills to move projects forward. Since 2012, she has guided seven student-involved projects that have been either presented or submitted for publication. She and her colleagues have recently submitted a scholarly paper on the challenges of mentoring and implementing high-impact practices at a heavy teaching load university.
