He currently serves as Director of Faculty Leadership for the campus, developing strategies for mentorship of junior and senior faculty and for developing and supporting faculty leaders throughout the university.

"I am very pleased to congratulate Steve for this significant recognition of his outstanding teaching record in the Clark School," said Dean Dr. Darryll Pines.
