A summer of increased drought and wildfires is looming, reminding everyone of the damaging effects of climate change and the need for all of us to take some form of action.  

Campus gardens are one hands-on option that not only address food insecurity by providing produce for students and community members in need but can help to instill students with the sense of place necessary for them to live sustainable lives and advocate for sustainable policies.

Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Kim Greer announced the recipients of Stan State’s Outstanding Faculty Awards and the Elizabeth Anne B. Papageorge Faculty Development Award for the 2020-2021 academic year. Presented annually, the Faculty Awards recognize exceptional achievements in teaching, research, service to the community and faculty governance.

Beginning April 26, StanNews will highlight one of this year's seven award winners each week. Congratulations to our outstanding faculty!
