Faculty Awards Given, Students Honored at College of Allied Health Sciences' 
Third Annual Awards Ceremony
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The recent Awards Ceremony of the College of Allied Health Sciences
(CAHS) featured three faculty awards, three honor society activities,
and the College's recognition of faculty length of service. CAHS senior
associate dean Linda G. Kraemer, PhD, welcomed the McClellan Hall
audience, and University president Paul C. Brucker, MD, delivered the
opening remarks.

   CAHS dean Lawrence Abrams, EdD, presented the faculty awards. Named
for dean Abrams parents, The Fred and Sadye Abrams Award for Excellence
in Clinical or Laboratory Instruction was awarded to Jaclyn M. Gleber,
RDH, EdD, clinical associate professor in the department of dental
hygiene, a specialist in periodontics whose research interest is
interpersonal communication skills for dental healthcare providers.

   Janice P. Burke, OTR/L, FAOTA, MA, assistant professor, department of
occupational therapy, was the recipient of the other two awards: the
Burlington Resources Foundation Faculty Achievement Award and the
Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching. In his remarks, dean Abrams
noted the significance of earning both awards in that the Burlington
Award was a faculty selection process while the Lindback Award decision
came via a student process. Ms. Burke's expertise is in pediatric
occupational therapy and in clinical reasoning.

Society, the national honor society for allied health, by Ruth Schemm,
