OSU-AAUP President wins award

(the following is adapted from Greg Rose's memo today):

On February 11, 2008, President Gee presented Gordon Aubrecht with the Faculty Award for Distinguished University Service.  This honor for Gordon recognizes his long list of contributions to The Ohio State University, particularly in the areas of governance.  Gordon has served for many years and in a variety of leadership roles on the University Senate and its various committees, in addition to service to the Marion campus, the Department of Physics, and his discipline both nationally and internationally.  Last year only three of these awards were given to OSU faculty members, placing Gordon in a rather exclusive and august club!

As it is officially described, "The Faculty Award for Distinguished University Service honors faculty members whose contributions to the development and implementation of university policies and programs through non-administrative roles have been extensive and have made documentable impact on the quality of the university. The recipients also have continued to provide effective teaching and have maintained an active program of research, scholarship, or creative work. Recipients are nominated by members of the university community and selected by a committee of faculty, administrators, and previous recipients."
