The NSU College of Osteopathic Medicine (NSU-COM) coordinated its inaugural Faculty, Administrator, and Staff Recognition Awards ceremony, which was held in the Health Professions Divisions Chancellor’s Dining Room on May 14.
The idea to recognize the excellence of NSU-COM individuals was born during the college’s strategic planning process in 2009. As a result, all NSU-COM personnel had an opportunity to submit letters of nomination on behalf of worthy individuals in various categories. The nominations were then reviewed by the college’s Scholarships, Honors, and Awards Committee, which selected the following recipients:
Staff Pride Award – Presented to an individual whose performance is characterized by serving as a role model, demonstrating a positive and helpful attitude toward others, and showcasing consistent dedication to the job and work group.
Recipient: Denise Raof
Administrative Leadership Award – Presented to an individual and/or team performance that contributes to the goals and objectives of the college and continuously demonstrates the core values of the college.
Recipient: Carol Siu, M.S.
Distinguished Faculty Award – Presented to a faculty member in recognition of his/her outstanding contributions to the college in the areas of teaching, scholarship, and service.
Recipient: Naushira Pandya, M.D., CMD
Clinical Teaching and Education Innovation Award – Presented annually to promote and honor excellence in clinical teaching by recognizing specific faculty members for their innovations and accomplishments in teaching, training, mentoring, and motivation of medical students.
Recipient: Robert Hasty, D.O.
COM Outstanding Service Award – Presented in recognition of an individual who has demonstrated outstanding performance and service to the college and/or department.
