The University of California, Davis, announces the selection of 10 faculty members as Chancellor's Fellows, the first recipients of a new $250,000 annual honor jointly supported by the Chancellor's Club and the Annual Fund of UC Davis. "This honor was designed to recognize the best of our young faculty members," said Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef. "It is certainly a recognition of what they have accomplished so far in their careers, but, more importantly, it also speaks to their great potential in their fields, and to what they can contribute to the university in the coming years." The 10 Chancellor's Fellows for 2000-01 are: * Annabeth Rosen, associate professor of art * Alexander Mogilner, associate professor of mathematics * Michael Sanderson, associate professor of evolution and ecology * Scott Rozelle, associate professor of agricultural and resource economics * Kimberly Elsbach, associate professor of management * Deborah Harkness, associate professor of history * Andrew Yonelinas, associate professor of psychology * Wolf-Dietrich Heyer, associate professor of microbiology * Debbie Niemeier, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering * Andrew Waterhouse, professor of viticulture and enology The Chancellor's Fellows Program was created to honor the achievements of outstanding faculty members early in their careers. The 10 faculty members will each receive a one-time award of $25,000, and will be able to use the title "Chancellor's Fellow" for five years. Academic Senate members from all schools and colleges were eligible for the honor. The nominees, who were evaluated by a faculty committee appointed by the provost, must have achieved tenure within the past three years and have been on the Davis campus for a year prior to last June's deadline for nominations.
