In an annual tradition that includes words of wisdom from an esteemed teacher and recognition of members of the community who serve as mentors, teachers and advisors, the 18th annual Educational Recognition Awards ceremony will be held at UMass Medical School on Tuesday, April 26.
Julie Jonassen, PhD, professor of microbiology and physiological systems, who was awarded the 2015 Chancellor’s Medal for Distinguished Teaching at Convocation in September, will deliver The Last Lecture called “Medical Education and the Case of the Missing Dromedary.” In describing Dr. Jonassen, Chancellor Michael F. Collins said she is a “passionate, preeminent teacher and a thoughtful and dedicated leader who is a nationally recognized innovator in education” in addition to being “one of the most influential and dedicated teaching faculty at our institution.”
Prior to The Last Lecture, faculty members from the School of Medicine, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Graduate School of Nursing will be recognized for their contributions to the academic life of UMass Medical School.
The Educational Recognition Awards ceremony will take place in the Albert Sherman Center Auditorium on the second floor from 4 to 6 p.m.
