Debbie Perlstein Awarded 2022 Templeton Award for Excellence in Student Advising
Congratulations to Dr. Debbie Perlstein, Associate Professor in the Chemistry Department and Assistant Director of the BMB Program, for receiving a 2022 Templeton Award for Excellence in Student Advising. This award is one of the annual College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) Teaching Awards that recognize outstanding professors in CAS. From the CAS Teaching Awards Committee:
“Debbie’s nominators commented on her influence on all parts of their academic lives including courses, research, graduate school options and careers. I loved the way that one of Debbie’s nominees described her as ‘by my side as I developed my skills as a student, a scientist, and as an individual. From every disorganized lab notebook entry to the stress of medical applications and interviews to the probably countless amounts of confused looks I gave her when I didn’t understand something, Debbie was there to support me and encourage me. She affirmed every right, but never discouraged any wrongs… These are skills and experiences that I will cherish into my future, and hope to provide to others that I may mentor in days to come.’”
Congratulations to Debbie on this well-deserved award!
