Dr. Margo Sorgman Receives Pinnell Award
April 2, 2008
Indiana University Kokomo Professor Margo Sorgman, Ed.D., has received the W. George Pinnell Award for Outstanding Service by the Indiana University Faculty Council. Sorgman, who received her Ed. D. from Boston University in 1972, has been instructing IU Kokomo education students both in the classroom and in the field for the past 20 years.
The presentation was made Sunday, March 30, during Indiana University’s 2008 Founders Day Celebration, in an invitation-only event for the award recipients and their families in Indiana Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall. IU President Michael A. McRobbie presented the award in one of two programs that honored both outstanding students and faculty. Twenty-one faculty members and one doctoral student were recognized for outstanding teaching, research, and service to the university.
The Indiana University Faculty Council established the W. George Pinnell Award to honor faculty members and librarians who have shown “exceptional breadth of involvement and depth of commitment in service to the university, their profession, or the public.”
