EUGENE–Seven faculty members in the University of Oregon College of Arts and Sciences were recognized by their peers this spring for excellence in teaching, superior scholarship and dedicated service.

UO alumni and alumni family members established these fellowships and awards during the 1990s to support and recognize outstanding UO arts and sciences faculty. Award recipients were nominated by their colleagues.

Henry Wonham, assistant professor of English, received the $3,000 Norman H. Brown Faculty Fellowship in the Liberal Arts.

Each receiving a $5,000 award from the Richard A. Bray Faculty Scholars in Arts and Sciences endowment were Alexandra Bonds, professor of theater arts; Michael Manga, assistant professor of geological sciences; and Ronald Mitchell, assistant professor of political science.

Regina Psaki, associate professor of Romance languages, was named the 1999-2000 William K. and Susan C. Piché Faculty Fellow. Psaki is the first recipient of the $2,000 award.

Jon M. Erlandson, associate professor of anthropology, was named the 1999-2001 David M. and Nancy L. Petrone Scholar in Arts and Sciences. He will receive a cash award, which will be disbursed over a three-year period. The funds may be used for discretionary support for instruction, research-related expenses, and travel related to teaching and research.
