Three faculty from the Lawrence campus have been chosen for distinguished teaching awards as well. Patricia Hawley, assistant professor of psychology, will receive the Silver Anniversary Award. The award, presented by the 25-year anniversary class, includes a $2,500 cash prize. It is presented annually to tenure-track faculty who have not yet received tenure.

Elizabeth Asiedu, associate professor of economics, will receive the Byron Shutz Award. The award was founded in 1978 to honor exceptional teaching in economics and business. It was modified in 1985 to include faculty from all disciplines in alternate years. Winners receive a $4,000 cash prize and present a lecture on their topic of expertise during the fall semester.

Anton Rosenthal, associate professor of history, will receive the Ned N. Fleming Trust Award. The award recognizes distinguished teaching, scholarship and service and carries a $5,000 cash prize.

Angelique EagleWoman will receive the Crystal Eagle Award. EagleWoman is a visiting assistant professor of law, jointly in indigenous nations studies and the School of Law. Indigenous nations studies students choose a winner for the award who has shown leadership and dedication toward helping community members or students within indigenous communities. The award will be presented to EagleWoman on Sunday, May 11, at the Center for Indigenous Nations Studies' Crystal Eagle banquet in the Kansas Union. The event is invitation only.

After its 1960 opening on west campus, Youngberg Hall housed the Center for Research Inc. After the center moved to nearby Nichols Hall, KU Endowment moved into the hall, which it had built and named in honor of former executive secretary Irvin Youngberg. KU Endowment outgrew Youngberg in 1998, and the KU Center for Research and the Office of the Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Studies returned. For more, visit www.buildings.ku.edu.
