Two faculty members from the School of Architecture and Allied Arts have been selected to receive the Fund for Faculty Excellence Awards for academic year 2013-14.

Associate Professors Nico Larco and Kate Mondloch were “chosen on the basis of scholarly impact within their respective fields, their contributions to program and institutional quality at the UO, and their academic leadership,” said Jim Bean, UO senior vice president and provost.

The Fund for Faculty Excellence is designed to further the university’s strategic commitment to improving its academic quality and reputation by recognizing, supporting, and retaining world-class, tenure-related faculty. The recipients are chosen on the basis of scholarly impact within their respective fields, their contributions to program and institutional quality at the UO, and their academic leadership.

Twelve other faculty members from across the university also received the award.
