Recognition for Dartmouth faculty, staff, and students

Steve Kelley ’81, of The Times-Picayune in New Orleans, has received the Scripps Howard National Award for Editorial Cartooning for 2007. Kelley returned to Dartmouth recently as a Montgomery Fellow. His visit included a public lecture, “Art Irritates Life: Politics and Stuff People Actually Care About,” which he gave on Feb. 19 as part of the series, America in 2008: Commentators and Cartoonists. The award, presented by the Scripps Howard Foundation, credits Kelley’s “ability to weave words and imagery” and “his use of irony to satirize some of the year’s headlines.”

Tom Scanlon, a postdoctoral fellow at Thayer School, has been named the Carol Basbaum Memorial Research Fellow by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The award is made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Research Fellowship applicant who receives the best priority score during the foundation’s review of research proposals. Scanlon is a member of the laboratory of Assistant Professor of Engineering Karl Griswold, and of the Dartmouth Lung Biology Center.

A number of Dartmouth Greek organizations and members were honored by their national chapters. Jeffrey Coleman ’08 of Lambda Upsilon Lambda was named the Undergraduate Hermano of the Year. At the Carlson Leadership Academy, a personal development program for Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter officers, Dartmouth’s Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter was awarded the Manpower Excellence Award for being the largest fraternity on campus; the 90+ Award, for having more than 90 members last year; the Grand Chapter Scholarship Cup, for having the top grade-point average among Dartmouth’s 13 fraternities; and the Phi Beta Kappa Wheelhouse Award for having a 3.15+ GPA and fostering academic achievement. Travis Green ’08, a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, was awarded the Frank J. Ruck Interfraternity Leadership Award for showing outstanding campus leadership and improving campus life. Sigma Phi Epsilon Chapter Counselor Carey Heckman ’76 was named the District 1 Volunteer of the Year.
