Through the generosity of Homer and Dolly Hand of Belle Glade, Florida, the University has established honorary monetary awards to recognize outstanding faculty work. This year, we recognize the professional achievements of two outstanding members of our faculty for the Hand Award for Community Impact. The Hand Award for Community Impact celebrates the achievements of faculty serving the needs of the community, both the Stetson community and the community beyond the campus. It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to present this award to two individuals – one in the School of Business Administration, to be awarded this afternoon, and the other in the College of Arts and Sciences.
KIMBERLY FLINT-HAMILTONhas been a member of the Stetson community since 1999 when she joined the faculty of Sociology and Anthropology, a department she currently chairs. She has served on numerous University and College committees and task forces including the Faculty Senate, and Tenure and Promotion Policy Committee. Over the course of her tenure, Her deep commitment to Stetson has manifested itself in notable and extensive mentoring of faculty, particularly pre-tenure and visiting faculty across all disciplines and through myriad formal and informal venues. A quote from her nomination packet reads “Whereas many of us discuss and deliberate over our core values and of the practical application of social justice, we see in Kimberly one who actually lives social justice and promotes inclusive excellence among students, staff, and faculty”. For her professional commitment and deep impact on the Stetson Community, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton receives the 2015 Hand Award for Community Impact.
