During Northeastern University’s 15th Academic Honors Convocation, five NULab faculty were recognized for their outstanding teaching and research. Three NULab faculty, Oliver Ayers, K.J. Rawson, and Kirsten Saxton, were individually recognized for “research and teaching span disciplines, colleges, campuses, countries and industry sectors while exhibiting the best of Northeastern’s mission” with the Global Network Accelerator Award. Two NULab faculty, Ellen Cushman and David Lazer, were also individually recognized for “honoring their outstanding research and creative activity of national and international significance” with the Excellence in Research and Creative Activity Award. Below is an excerpt from the Northeastern Global News post.
“Northeastern University’s highest student and faculty achievers across its 13 global campuses were celebrated Wednesday at the 15th annual Academic Honors Convocation.
Excellence in scholarship, research, teaching and advancing the university’s mission earned members of the Northeastern community their place on the stage at Blackman Auditorium in Ell Hall on the Boston campus.
‘When we look at all your achievements and all that you have done, we are extremely excited about the future of this university, the future of this nation and indeed the future of this world,’ Joseph E. Aoun, president of Northeastern, told the audience. ‘We cannot afford to be pessimistic when we see the enormous talent in this community. Our future is in your hands, and I want to thank you.'”
