The U of A School of Law has announced the 2022 Dean's Circle Award recipients. The awards were created to recognize faculty for their excellence in teaching and advising, research and scholarship, and public service, as well as a staff member for their commitment and dedication to students and the school.
Professor Carol Rose Goforth received the Dean's Circle Faculty Award for Scholarship, professor Christopher Kelley received the Dean's Circle Faculty Award for Teaching, professor Sharon Foster received the Dean's Circle Faculty Award for Public Service and Tracy Deffebaugh received the inaugural Dean's Circle Award for Outstanding Staff Member.
"We have an amazing faculty who excel at teaching, scholarship and service, and we have a dedicated tireless staff, so picking winners is extremely hard," said law school interim Dean Alena Allen. "I want to congratulate the winners for their commitment to excellence."
The Dean's Circle Faculty Award recipients are recommended by the awards committee to the dean. These awards honor up to three outstanding teachers and one staff member, and each award carries an honorarium payment of $1,000.
The committee was chaired by University Professor and Vincent Foster Professor of Legal Ethics & Professional Responsibility Howard Brill. Other members included Ann M. Killenbeck and 2021 award recipients Danielle Weatherby, Annie Smith and Jordan Blair Woods.
