Aimee LaPointe Terosky was recently notified that she is one of four recipients of the 2005 K. Patricia Cross Future Leaders Awards. The award is extended each year, by the American Assocation for Higher Education, to doctoral students who have "clearly demonstrated ... leadership ability and a strong commitment to academic and civic responsibility through ... academic and personal endeavors."  Her letter from Clara Lovett, President of the Association, further notes:  "This is the eighth year that K. Patricia Cross, a long-time higher education leader, administrator, author, researcher, and teacher, has sponsored these awards. A professor emerita of higher education at the University of California-Berkeley, she has twice been named one of the most important leaders in higher education by Change magazine (1975, 1989)." 

Responding to the news, Professor Anna Neumann, the coordinator for the Higher and Postsecondary Education program, remarked, "This is exciting for many reasons not least of which is that Professor Cross is known for her ground-breaking leadership in research on teaching and  learning in higher education.  It's a wonderful award for Aimee and I, for one, am thrilled for her!"

Aimee will be recognized and honored, in receipt of the award, at this year's AAHE conference to be held in March in Atlanta.
