Awards Given to Support Dental Faculty Development
Two School of Dental Medicine faculty recently received the first-ever Dr. Marion Frank Faculty Development Award.
This award, given to Dr. Rui Li, associate professor of prosthodontics, and Dr. Madison Doolittle, assistant professor in the Center of Regenerative Medicine and Skeletal Development, enables faculty to pursue their independently chosen career development activities.
Drs. Li and Doolittle will be given $5,000 to support their research program development.
Dr. Anna Dongari-Bagtzoglou, professor and associate dean of faculty affairs, congratulated the award winners.
“This competitive award provides funds for faculty development activities that support the individual career path of each faculty. The award recognizes Dr. Marion Frank, a Professor Emerita, who has been a steadfast supporter of faculty development in the School of Dental Medicine.”
The awardees were chosen by the School’s Faculty Development Advisory Committee.
