Award-winning teaching
—Nearly 300 students graduated May 18 at BSC’s 154th
Commencement. At the ceremony, Provost Dr. Mark Schantz named Chemistry Professor Dr. Laura Stultz
Professor of the Year. Stultz will be the Commencement speaker in 2014. Schantz praised Stultz, who has
been at BSC since 1997, for her stellar teaching, service on almost every college committee, commitment
to interdisciplinary research, and her “levelheadedness and keen intelligence.” The college also conveyed an
honorary doctor of letters to Linda Flaherty-Goldsmith, who recently served as BSC’s chief of staff.
