PsTL graduate students awarded scholarships

The Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning celebrates M.A. students Amy Barton and Nue Lor for recent scholarship awards.

Amy Barton, received the Carol E. Macpherson Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship award “…memorializes Carol’s undying concern for fairness, for providing opportunities for women to find new paths, for the value of a thinking mind to ask difficult questions, and for respecting the nurturing roles women continue to play even as they take on various new responsibilities in their families and communities.”

Nue Lor is a recipient of the 2014-2015 Dr. Nancy “Rusty” Barceló Scholarship awarded by the Women’s Center at the University of Minnesota. Once the only Chicana student at the University of Iowa, Barceló has since become one of the nation’s most highly respected authorities on equity and diversity in higher education.

Barton, Lor and other scholarship winners will be recognized at the annual Celebrating University Women Awards Program on October 17, 2014.
