The inaugural winner of the Chairs and Directors Council Emerging Leader Award, China Billotte Verhoff, assistant professor of interpersonal communication, will also be recognized. The Emerging Leader Award recognizes an outstanding probationary, tenure-track faculty member who has demonstrated exceptional leadership attributes.

All members of the University community are encouraged to attend to celebrate faculty award recipients.
