1. Way Klingler Sabbatical, Teaching Enhancement Award winners announced

Dr. Craig Andrews, professor and Charles H. Kellstadt Chair of marketing in the College of Business Administration, has been named the 2013-14 Way Klingler Sabbatical Award winner. During his sabbatical, Andrews will continue his research on the effectiveness of using graphic pictorial warnings on cigarette packages to increase information about the severity of tobacco's health risks in countries around the world. Andrews was part of a team that conducted an experiment with more than 500 U.S. and Canadian adult smokers, which found that highly graphic images of the negative consequences of smoking have the greatest impact on smokers' intentions to quit. The Sabbatical Review Committee selects the award winner.

The 2013 Way Klingler Teaching Enhancement Award has been awarded to Dr. Amy Van Hecke, assistant professor of psychology in the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences; Mary Carlson, adjunct lecturer in the College of Education; and Wendy Krueger, clinical instructor of speech pathology and audiology in the College of Health Sciences. They will collaborate on a project titled, "Educating Students about Autism: Putting the Pieces Together through an Integrated, Experiential Approach," a multi-disciplinary, cross-college teaching initiative. The Committee on Teaching selects the award winner.
