The winners of the 2007 Kendall S. Carpenter Memorial Advising Awards are Rosemary Avery, policy analysis and management; John Belina, electrical and computer engineering; R. Laurence Moore, history and American studies; and John Weiss, history.

Michele Moody-Adams, Cornell vice provost for undergraduate education, recently announced the winners. The $5,000 awards recognize "sustained and distinguished contributions of professorial faculty and senior lecturers to undergraduate advising."

The awards were established by Cornell trustee Stephen Ashley in 2002 to honor Carpenter, his former adviser and a professor of business management in what is now the Department of Applied Economics and Management from 1954 until his untimely death at the age of 50 in 1967.

Nominations were accepted from students, staff, college deans, associate deans and department chairs. A committee composed of former recipients of the award and student representatives prepared a short list from those nominated; the final decision on the 2007 winners was made by President David Skorton. Recipients will be honored May 26 at a trustee-faculty dinner in recognition of universitywide teaching and advising award winners and newly tenured faculty.
