Kathleen Gould wins SEC Faculty Achievement Award
Kathleen Gould, Louise B. McGavock Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology in the School of Medicine, is Vanderbilt’s winner of the 2018 Southeastern Conference Faculty Achievement Award. The awards, now in their seventh year, are an initiative of SECU, the academic arm of the Southeastern Conference, and recognize senior faculty at SEC institutions with outstanding records in teaching, research and scholarship. One winner is chosen from each school and is nominated for the SEC Professor of the Year. In winning the award, Gould received a $5,000 honorarium. “Professor Gould has an outstanding career of research and discovery focusing on one of the most essential aspects of human life: cell division,” said Susan R. Wente, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. “Her record of extraordinary innovations in teaching and education at the graduate level demonstrates her exceptional commitment to the university community throughout her entire career.”
