The chemistry department congratulates Professor Ruben
Gonzalez on receiving a 2010 Lenfest Distinguished Faculty Award. Established
on a donation from trustee Gerry Lenfest (Law '58), the Lenfest award
recognizes faculty who demonstrate unusual merit in scholarship, university
citizenship, and professional involvement. The awards place particular emphasis
on the instruction and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students.
Honored faculty members receive annual awards of $25,000 for a three-year
period. Four Columbia chemistry faculty have received Lenfest awards
since its inception in 2005.
More information about Professor Gonzalez and his work can be found here. Also see the CU website announcement.
