Cal State
L.A. salutes its Outstanding Professors
For more than half a century at California State
University, Los Angeles, some of the most gifted and honored
educators in the nation have given students the benefit of
their expertise and wisdom. Undergraduates and graduate
students pursuing degrees have been guided in their specific
disciplines while learning critical thinking skills from the
prominent scientists, scholars, and artists who teach at Cal
State L.A.
Faculty at Cal State L.A. involve students in their
research projects in a way rarely found at the private and
larger public universities. Whether in the laboratory, the
dance studio, or the elementary school classroom, whether
collecting data for surveys or gathering oral histories in the
community, students have been able to work side by side with
these experts, among the most honored professors in the
California State University system.
We take this opportunity to recognize the excellence of all
Cal State L.A. faculty members and salute those who have been
especially honored by the University and the CSU over the
years.
Listed here are recipients of Cal State L.A.'s Outstanding
Professor Award, as well as those professors who have received
the CSU Trustees OPA, the CSU/CSLA OPA and the President's
Distinguished Professor Award. They have written major books
and textbooks, led internationally-honored research projects,
or served on national committees or as editors of significant
journals in their fields. All have been active on the many
committees that exist at the University. But first and
foremost, they are outstanding teachers, honored for their
devotion to students and to the communication of knowledge.
Because of them, we can approach the next century with
confidence in our University's mission to provide excellence
in education.
