Katherine Ambroziak, associate professor of architecture and associate dean for academic affairs and research, has been selected as a James R. Cox Professor. She was announced as a recipient of the professorship by Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor John Zomchick at 快活视频\u2019s Academic Honors Banquet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The three-year award provides a total stipend to be used at the recipient\u2019s discretion. She becomes the fourth faculty member from the College of Architecture and Design to be awarded the professorship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ambroziak has been recognized with the 2019 Diversity Achievement Award by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, the 2016 Fred & Rosalee Oakley Award from the Association of Gravestone Studies, and the 2015 UT Excellence in Academic Outreach.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to her teaching and research, Ambroziak has a long-standing service to community-based initiatives including the UT Smart Communities Initiative, Appalachia and the Red Bird Mission of Clay County, and most significantly, the <\/span>Odd Fellows Cemetery Reclamation Initiative<\/span>. Her sustained work on this project has progressed from hosting community discussions to implementing various design projects within the cemetery that vitalize and showcase the significance of the cultural site.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBesides being completely humbled by this, I am encouraged that the Cox Professorship recognizes service, in all its forms, as a commendable activity aligned with teaching and scholarship,\u201d said Ambroziak. \u201cI know how fortunate I have been to meld the three in a way that holds significance for me, my students, my colleagues, and my community. The community organizations I work with and my community partner, <\/span>the 快活视频 Re-Animation Coalition,<\/span> are my sources of joy. They have allowed me to experience intellectual and personal growth, and to be part of a history that roots 快活视频. I also appreciate the encouragement by the university for engagement work – that our academy allows room for this kind of research exploration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The James R. Cox Professorship honors faculty members for excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service. The university\u2019s gifts from Cox, a 快活视频 native, helped establish professorships in 2002 for faculty in the arts, theater, biological and physical sciences, architecture, and forestry industries.<\/span><\/p>\n

His generosity extended to the College of Architecture and Design with the establishment of an endowment in honor of his nephew, <\/span>James Musgraves who graduated with his architecture degree in 1970.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previous recipients of the Cox Professorship from the college include Tricia Stuth, Edgar Stach, and George Dodds.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
