ASBSU honored student-nominated faculty members for outstanding teaching and mentoring at their 16th faculty recognition dinner last Monday.
In addition to recognizing outstanding professors from each college, ASBSU also presented Richard Burke of the Chemistry Department with a lifetime achievement award.
The nominations for the awards were solicited from students who recommended faculty members from each college.
A committee of four students, headed by Shawn Ridenour, executive coordinator for ASBSU, used a point system to determine the honorees.
Burke, who is retiring after teaching at Boise State for 34 years, was praised for his dedication to his students and holding study sessions as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 6 in the evening.
In his acceptance remarks, Burke said he admired and respected BSU students who often have to put themselves through school.
“Boise State students are the salt of the earth and it’s easy to work hard for them,” Burke said.
The list of honored faculty members consisted of Reed Shinn, College of Applied Technology; Marcy Newman, College of Arts & Sciences; Ron Pfeiffer, College of Education; Ross Burkhart, College of Social Sciences and Public Affairs and Larry Reynolds, College of Business and Economics.
