A Massapequa Park resident was among six members of the faculty and staff at Farmingdale State College named winners of the State University of New York’s coveted Chancellor’s Award for Excellence.
Howard Gold, of Massapequa Park, teaches writing in the professional communications department at the college. Previous to the Chancellor’s Award, he received the Farmingdale Foundation Award for Excellence in Teaching. Off campus he is a senior technical writer at Forest Laboratories in Commack.
“Faculty and staff who receive the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence have served their students, fellow faculty and staff, campuses and communities with the utmost distinction,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “It is a great honor to be able to recognize Dr. Joanne Lapidus-Graham, Professor Donna Proper, Professor Howard Gold, Professor Robert Seyler, Kenneth J. Tax, and Barbara Sarringer with this award.”
The Chancellor’s Award for Excellence provides SUNY-wide recognition for consistently superior professional achievement and the ongoing pursuit of excellence. The annual awards are presented to faculty and staff in seven categories: Faculty Service, Librarianship, Professional Service, Scholarship and Creative Activities, Teaching, Adjunct Teaching and Classified Service.
