Distinguished Teaching Howard L. Pinderhughes, assistant professor in the School of Nursing’s department of social and behavioral sciences, has been named the winner of this year’s UCSF Academic Senate Distinction in Teaching Award. Receiving honorable mentions for the award were Susan R. Carter, assistant professor in residence in the department of ophthalmology, and Susan McEvilly Kools, assistant professor in the department of family health care nursing. Chancellor Mike Bishop will present the award to Pinderhughes at the Founder's Day Banquet on Wednesday, March 22. Carter and Kools will be recognized at the next UCSF Academic Senate meeting. A tradition of the UCSF Academic Senate since 1951, the award recognizes faculty, who are nominated by students and colleagues, for their versatility, use of outstanding teaching materials, research, and outstanding mentoring of students and junior faculty. Pinderhughes was hailed by his nominators as an "exemplary classroom teacher, mentor, advisor, University citizen, and public educator." Earlier this year, Pinderhughes was named the faculty winner of the UCSF Martin Luther King Jr. Award, which recognizes individuals for their work fostering cultural diversity on- and off- campus. Since coming to UCSF in 1995, Pinderhughes has developed four new courses: Ethnicity and Race as Factors in Health Care Delivery and Health Outcomes, Violence as a Health Problem, Social Policy and Health, and Families and Health. In addition to his classroom hours and course preparation, Pinderhughes spends almost a day a week advising and mentoring. He has also chaired the Faculty Mentoring Group and the Doctoral Program Committee in the School of Nursing, and served on several committees for the UC Office of the President, including the UC Urban Schools Projects Grant Review Committee, the UC Community Education and Resource Centers Initiative, and the UC Research Initiative on Education and Equity Planning. Pinderhughes’ research focuses on the causes and consequences of youth violence, and race relations among youth, which takes him to some of the toughest parts of San Francisco. His work with youth has received national attention from the National Research Council, Congress, the President’s Initiative on Race, and a PBS special on hate violence. Susan R. Carter was credited for making a significant impact on education, locally and nationally. She joined the UCSF faculty in 1996, and has since been named co-director of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery and vice chair for resident and student education. She is also associate chief of ophthalmology at San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center. As a member of the Association of University Professors in Ophthalmology and as a residency director, Carter is responsible for shaping residency programs at UCSF and nationally. As a member of the education committee of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, she helps formulate the educational process for oculoplastic fellows. Susan McEvilly Kools was praised by students and colleagues for her clinical knowledge and skills, effectiveness as an instructor and excellence as a mentor. Kools, who joined the UCSF faculty in 1995, is responsible for both classroom and clinical teaching in the advanced practice pediatric specialty in the Master of Nursing Science program. She also serves doctoral students as an instructor in advanced research methods, adviser and research mentor. Kools’ teaching extends outside the School of Nursing. She directs the US Public Health Service Division of Nursing training grant on Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs, and serves as the School’s liaison to the Interdisciplinary Adolescent Health Care Traineeship in the Division of Adolescent Medicine. As a board member with the California Partnership for Children and the Children’s Mental Health Policy Board of California, Kools has lectured at universities throughout Northern California. She also serves as a consultant in adolescent program development for several hospitals, locally and internationally. Links: Campbell Wins Distinction in Teaching Award (1999 winner) |
