This award is considered Rutgers’ highest honor for innovation in the classroom
Established in 1993, this award has become one of the top honors that Rutgers bestows upon its faculty in recognition of outstanding scholarly achievement and exceptional service to the University. The award commemorates the life and legacy of Dr. Daniel Gorenstein, a noted mathematician on the Rutgers–New Brunswick Campus.
This University-wide award celebrates faculty who forge effective connections between their research and teaching endeavors.
This award was presented annually by the Rutgers University–Camden Alumni Association based on nominations from campus graduates.
In sessions led by Sheila Linz (assistant professor of nursing) and Kathleen Jackson (clinical assistant professor of nursing), Camden residents learned mindfulness strategies and practiced yoga to improve their physical and mental health. Some participants reported that these sessions, which concluded in early 2020, helped them to cope with the stress and other complications that arose as the COVID-19 pandemic spread throughout New Jersey. Study participants were taught to use photography to supplement their therapeutic group conversations, and their photos will be displayed in a Rutgers–Camden exhibition in the fall of 2021. The study will be published in a forthcoming edition of the Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services.
