Mohamed El-Hodiri
Nudo, who has taught at KU since 1997, will receive the Chancellors Club Research Award. He has pioneered research in the field of neural repair and rehabilitation after brain injury. His studies demonstrate that after an injury to the brain, such as that caused by a stroke, brain tissue plays a role in the recovery of use of the limbs. Nudo's research has continuously been funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1990, and currently he is principal investigator of a $4 million multi-institutional NIH grant.
El-Hodiri, who has a 40-year career as a KU economics professor, will receive the Chancellors Club Career Teaching Award. He has taught 26 undergraduate courses and honors tutorials, primarily in economics but also in western civilization, mathematics, philosophy, sociology and Russian and East European studies. On the graduate level, he's taught 18 courses.
Nudo and El-Hodiri will be honored by Chancellor Robert Hemenway and by members at the organization's 30th annual gala Nov. 2 at the Kansas Union.
The Chancellors Club was established in 1977 by KU Endowment.
