Walt Ream receives the 2007 Richard M. Bressler Senior Faculty Teaching Award. Dr. Ream is acknowledged for his commitment to laboratory teaching. Several years ago, he (with Kate Field) developed the MCB late summer intensive short course in molecular biology for incoming grad students and outside clients. In recent years, he has steadily evolved MB311 (Writing Intensive Curriculum) as a lab for MB majors that includes some near-cutting edge experiments and critiqued writing exercises. MB311 has an almost cult status of popularity with our majors.

Microbiologist Professor, Peter Bottomley, has been awarded the Inaugural Oregon State University Graduate School's 2006 "Excellence in Mentoring Award". Twenty-two former and current graduate students and three OSU professors wrote testimonial letters of nomination in support of Peter Bottomley for this award. Peter has served on over 140 graduate committees. "During his career at OSU, Dr. Bottomley has consistently conducted research that has emphasized the training of graduate students. Judging from my observations of interactions with graduate students, I suspect he has deliberately chosen this path, in distinction from conducting research with technicians or postdoctoral associates. He has a deep affinity with graduate students and the special stage in which they find themselves in navigating their future careers. He mixes humor, enthusiasm, a needling encouragement or incitement to extend themselves with real personal concern in guiding his students." Dr. Theo Dreher, Chair, Department of Microbiology Peter Bottomley, recipient of the Inaugural OSU Graduate School's 2006 "Excellence in Graduate Mentoring Award" |
