This new faculty distinction recognizes excellence in teaching, research and service. It also carries particular significance because of its ties to Dana Fritz, a longtime colleague whose philanthropy made the position possible.

For Leonard (BS ’82) and Barbara Bush, giving back is a way to honor that truth. Their $5.3 million estate gift to the College of Health Sciences will create lasting opportunities for students and faculty for generations to come.
