      CRAIG NELSON


      
Wins

      Top University Professor

      Award:

      Professor of the Year







      
 On 14 November 2000, the Carnegie
      Foundation announced that Craig was one of the four university
      professors in the country, out of 500 nominations this year,
      to win their prestigious "Professor of the Year"
      award. This was in recognition for his outstanding work in raising
      the caliber of teaching at the university level.


      
An excellent article in the Hoosier Times
      for 27 November 2000, by John Meunier, delves deeply into the
      delightful soul of this remarkable man we all know and admire.
      Be sure to read it. [Since this link will take you out of ENSIweb,
      just click "Back" to return here.]


      
Another fine article,
      by Alison Schneider, is from The Chronicle of Higher Education
      of 24 November 2000. Be sure read excerpts from her article,
      especially some of Craig's remarks near the end of the article.


      
In addition, see
      the excerpts from still another article (by Mary Beth Marklein
      in USA Today); it presents a very nice overview of the
      award and Craig's many contributions.
