Meritorious Teaching Awards

Manoa Assistant Professor Kate Lingley and Professor and Director of Faculty Development for the School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene Lois Magnussen were honored with the Chancellor’s Citations for Meritorious Teaching. The annual award recognizes Manoa faculty members who have made significant contributions to teaching and student learning.

Lingley, of the Department of Art and Art History, is recognized for her expertise in Chinese art, and teaches courses on Chinese sculpture, traditional Chinese painting, tomb sculpture and funerary art and more. She has taken it upon herself to develop an undergraduate art history list serve that disseminates news about jobs, internships and scholarships, to help students succeed in the field. (Read more)

Magnussen is the point person for the Systemwide Nursing Consortium, which has developed an integrated, cohesive and uniform statewide curriculum for nursing. Demonstrating exemplary leadership in administration, scholarship and instruction, she believes a nursing teacher should show students how to “think like a nurse” so they can effectively transition into the practice world.

Magnussen and Lingley will be recognized for their achievements along with other UH award recipients at the annual Convocation ceremony in the fall.
