SUMMARY: Dr. Wright named a 2018 Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation


Dr. Nathan Wright was named a 2018 Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation. Only seven Dreyfus Teacher-Scholars are named each year and all come from Bachelor's and Master's granting institutions. Dr. Wright is just the second professor at JMU to earn this award. According to the Dreyfus Foundation:

The Foundation seeks Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholars who, as independent faculty members, have demonstrated leadership in original scholarly research of outstanding quality, substantially with undergraduates, as well as excellence and dedication in undergraduate education. This highly competitive award is evaluated based on evidence of outstanding educational efforts and the nominee's scholarly research achievements with undergraduates as an independent faculty member, as assessed by a panel of distinguished faculty in the chemical sciences reviewing the nominee’s research proposal, nomination letter, and letters of support. Other considered factors are: awards and honors, publication of research achievements in leading journals, and success in attracting research funding.

Congratulations Dr. Wright!
