The Department of Oral Biology has won the 2009 William J. Gies Award for outstanding achievement by an academic dental institution. The award will be presented to Frank A. Scannapieco, professor and chair of the department, on March 14 at the 86th American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Annual Session and Exhibition in Phoenix.
The Gies Awards, given for vision, innovation or achievement, are sponsored by the ADEA Gies Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the ADEA.
In announcing the winner, the foundation stated: “The Oral Biology Ph.D. program at the University at Buffalo, through its training of numerous successful oral health investigators and academicians, has achieved a significant record of accomplishment that has yielded a major impact on global oral health and oral health education.”
Laura Garofalo, assistant professor in the School of Architecture and Planning, has received a 2008-09 Architectural Education Award from the American Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA).
The award, which honors excellence and distinguished achievement in architectural education, went to Garofalo and David Hill of North Carolina State University for their project “Threading Water.”
It will be presented March 26 at a ceremony and reception during the ACSA annual meeting in Portland, Oregon.
ACSA representative Eric Ellis said Garofalo and Hill received the ACSA Faculty Design Award, which “recognizes exemplary built and unbuilt work reflecting upon practice and research, and for theoretical investigations that advance the general understanding of the discipline of architecture.”
