Two HDFS faculty received UConn AAUP Excellence Awards! Lecturer Meg Galante-DeAngelis received the Teaching Excellence (Career) award, and Associate Professor Ryan Watson received the Research and Creativity (Early Career) award. These are very prestigious university-wide awards and we are very proud of Meg and Ryan for these well-deserved acknowledgements of all of their hard work.
