Seven KU faculty members have won distinguished teaching awards for 1999 and will be honored at this year's Commencement ceremonies. The teachers will be honored at an all-university supper at 6 p.m., Friday May 21, at Adams Alumni Center, and will be on the platform committee during commencement ceremonies May 23.

The Chancellor's Award for Outstanding Classroom Teacher is given to faculty members of the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. This year's winners are:

Diane Kay Boyle, assistant professor of nursing; Vincent H. Gattone II, professor of anatomy and cell biology; Louis H. Wetzel, associate professor of radiology.

The winner of the H. Bernerd Fink Award for outstanding classroom teaching is Robert H. Lee, acting chair of health policy and management. The award was established in 1961 by H. Bernerd and Ruth Fink of Topeka. Michael James Yellow Bird, assistant professor of social welfare, has won the Archie and Nancy Dykes Award.
The award was established in 1990 by the former KU chancellor and his wife, now of Nashville, Tenn., whose gift was matched by the Whitman Corp. Foundation, Rolling Meadows, Ill. The award honors faculty members for undergraduate teaching and is reserved for those who have extraordinary accomplishments.

Richard L. Schowen, professor of chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry and molecular biosciences, and Lawrence S. Wrightsman Jr., professor of psychology, are the winners of the Ned N. Fleming Trust Awards.
The awards are financed by a fund established in 1990 from the estate of the late Ned N. Fleming, chief executive officer and honorary chair of the board of Fleming Cos. of Topeka. The awards honor outstanding faculty members with distinguished records of teaching, scholarship and service.
