Congratulations to Dr. June Abbas on receiving the Edith Kinney Gaylord Presidential Professorship!

Please extend congratulations to Dr. Yong Ju Jung for being awarded the 2023 Vice President for Research and Partnerships Award for Excellence in Transdisciplinary, Convergent Research for the University of Oklahoma Happy Teacher Project! Her team is led by Dr. Kyong-Ah Kwon, Dept. of Instructional Leadership and Academic Curriculum in the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education, with collaborators across all three OU campuses in MANY departments and colleges (too many to type ).
