Glover named finalist for national early career faculty, engagement award
Robert Glover, a UMaine assistant professor of political science and honors, is one of eight national finalists for the 2015 Ernest A. Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement for Early Career Faculty, presented by the New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE) and the Center for Engaged Democracy (CED) at Merrimack College.
The annual award recognizes faculty in the early stages of their career who are innovators in sharing knowledge-generating tasks with the public, and involving community partners and students as participants in public problem solving.
This year, there were 42 nominations for the award, with the winner to be announced in August and honored at a NERCHE colloquium in Boston and the annual Conference of Urban and Metropolitan Universities in Omaha, Nebraska later this year.
