Three health science faculty members, two from the College of Health Sciences and another from the College of Pharmacy, have been nominated as finalists for two Belmont University faculty awards.

Dr. Renee Brown, Professor of Physical Therapy, and Julie Hunt, Assistant Professor of Social Work, are two of four finalists for the 2012-13 Chaney Distinguished Professor Award.  This is the highest honor presented annually to a Belmont faculty member.  The award will be presented during graduation festivities in May.

In addition, Dr. Kelley Kiningham, Assistant Dean in the College of Pharmacy, is a finalist for the second consecutive year for the Presidential Faculty Achievement Award for 2012-13.  The award will be presented at Scholarships and Awards Day in April.  The Presidential Faculty Achievement Award recognizes excellence in helping to make Belmont University a student-centered community through their support of our students outside of the classroom.

A reception to recognize and honor each of the finalists for this year’s university-wide faculty awards will be held Wednesday, April 10, 2013 from 3:00 to 4;30 in the lobby of the Gordon E. Inman Center.
