There are three Awards categories: Paper, Service, and Teaching. Applicants for these categories were nominated by their peers and professors based on outstanding work that sets them apart. All of the nominees went “above and beyond” and the committee’s decision was a difficult one.
- Paper Award: Paul Corogin, New geographical and morphological data for Sideroxylon reclinatum subspecies austrofloridense (Sapotaceae), a taxon endemic to southeastern peninsular Florida, U.S.A.
- Service Award: Richie Hodel, co-led a trip for graduate student perspective weekend, was very active on the fundraising committee, judged URAP presentations, mentored several undergraduate students, and is also active within the FLMNH and greater botanical community.
- Teaching Award: Sarah Allen went above and beyond her normal teaching responsibilities. She re-wrote the labs for Plant Anatomy, she designed two new lab activities in Plants in Human Affairs, and received outstanding reviews from her students.
Congratulations to our 2014 Award Winners!
