Garcia, Lipson, Peck & Williamson named Merrill Educators

Ephrahim Garcia, Hod Lipson, Mason Peck, and Charles Williamson were each recognized as outstanding educators for having served as the key influential faculty for a Merrill presidential Scholar in 2008. Each spring semester, 36 undergraduate scholars, representing approximately 1 percent of the graduating class, are named to receive this honor. The scholars, in turn, recognize a high school teacher who most inspired their scholastic development and a Cornell faculty member who most significantly contributed to their college experience.  

The Merrill Scholar students are: Vikas R. Enti Ranga Reddy (Garcia), Floris Van Breugel (Lipson), Patrick R. Conrad (Peck), and Andrew C. Poshadel (Willilamson)

A total of 36 faculty were recognized this year from among over 2700 faculty at Cornell, with a disproportionally high representation (10%) of faculty from M&AE.

Congratulations faculty and students!
