Congrats to Dr. Ryan Taylor!

Our students know him as an excellent professor, but ENV’s own Ryan Taylor won the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Faculty Service this year. Many students may not know that Dr. Taylor works behind the scenes in many different capacities - including working on many different committees at Purchase, co-chairing the Middle States accreditation process, and serving as University Faculty Senator (representing Purchase College at the SUNY-wide meetings).These are all incredibly time-consuming and Dr. Taylor does all this while teaching and mentoring students. 

Based on their website, this award is given only under certain circumstances:

“To be nominated, a faculty member must demonstrate consistently superior service. Eligible service contributions may occur in a variety of areas including service to the campus, the State University, the local community, or contributions at the regional, state-wide, national or international levels. Eligible activities may encompass a combination of service contributions to discipline or disciplinary and professional organizations and societies, and to leadership in local or system-wide faculty governance.”

Congrats Dr. Taylor! A well deserved honor!
