SPECIAL NOTE:

November 9, 2007 - The HED Program is especially pleased to announce that the second annual first Don G. Creamer Research Awards have been made. This year's recipients are: Bethany Flora for her project on the Professional Lives of Higher Education Center Administrators, Tonya Saddler for her project on the Role of Collaborative Research Experiences in Preparing Doctoral Students For Faculty Careers, and Racheal Stimpson for her project on Senior Student Affairs Officers Life and Career Paths. The Selection Committee included Don Creamer, Diana Ridgwell, and Ellen Plummer (Chair) and the process was very competitive. If you have the occasion, please congratulate these students on their noteworthy accomplishments.

These awards were made possible by all of those alumni, friends, and colleagues who have contributed to the Don G. Creamer Fund for Excellence. For more information visit "How to Contribute."
