Lisa Goerner, of the IU Speech and Hearing Clinic, whose nominator wrote: “Over the last few years, Lisa has been incredibly knowledgeable, professional, very attentive and concerned in the care she has given to my mother. She has gone above and beyond what is required in her service area and is a remarkable Hoosier example!

Hannah Nixon, of IU Outdoor Adventures, whose nominator wrote: “Hannah started in October, and in just a short time, she has helped change the culture of IUOA toward a positive direction. She is extremely dedicated to her work and always willing to help a student or colleague. Her advocacy for programs involving justice, equity, diversity and inclusion has given a voice to many of our students and staff who call IUOA their ‘place’ on campus. Her leadership style is an inspiration and a breath of fresh air, and we are thrilled to have her on our team.”

She takes pride in her work and always has a positive attitude and shows compassion. She has a great sense of humor and is a joy to work with. Thank you!”

His leadership guides each program from admissions through graduation. He is the go-to resource for matters of student conduct, university policies and procedures, administration and academic support. The faculty in the Health Professions Programs wish to formally recognize his hard work and steadfastness through the ever-changing environment of medical education.”
