Hutton faculty recognized for excellence

February 2025
We are thrilled to congratulate Dr. Clark Barwick (Teaching Professor in the Kelley School of Business and our Assistant Dean for Instruction and Curriculum) on being the recipient of this year's President's Award for Distinguished Teaching, the highest prize for teaching at Indiana University.

Professor Cecilia Sem Obeng (School of Public Health) has been honored with the John W. Ryan Award for Distinguished Contributions to International Programs and Teaching. Professor Obeng's summer course "Culture and Health in Africa," offered through the Hutton International Experiences Program, takes students on an eye-opening, life-changing trip to three sites in Ghana to meet with physicians, patients, and traditional healthcare providers.

Hutton International Experiences course goes to Portugal (Dec. 2024-Jan. 2025)
