Faculty Awards and Honors
Congratulations to Professor Huan Gao
I am very pleased to announce that Dr. Huan Gao of the Criminal Justice Department has been selected to receive a Wang Family Faculty Award. This award, established by CSU Trustee Emeritus Stanley Wang and his family, provides a $10,000 grant for Professor Gao to serve as a Wang Faculty Fellow at Peking University in Beijing, China. This award is quite an honor as only four faculty members are selected from across all 23 CSU campuses each year.
Please join me in congratulating Professor Gao for this wonderful achievement.
Regards,
Hamid Shirvani, Ph.D.
