Heather Pinkett, PhD | Irving M. Klotz Research Professor, Associate Professor, Department of Molecular Biosciences

Faculty Award
"Last year, Heather agreed to chair the IBiS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee ... she has devoted outstanding effort and patience to working with a mixed committee of students, staff and faculty to identify ways that IBiS can continue to diversify and support our students. They have helped students to feel more involved in creating a positive culture within IBiS."
Stephen R. Monteiro | Business Administrator II, Department of Political Science

Staff Award
"In my years of interactions with Stephen, I have never felt that he was just "doing his job." There is no "box-checking" or half-willed responses from him. Stephen creates an environment of enduring support that allows us as individuals and collectives within the Political Science Department to thrive personally and professionally. I believe that our department is unique because of him and his work."
