Chan-Olmsted Selected for
UF Research Foundation Professorship
(April 5, 2002) Prof. Sylvia Chan-Olmsted (Telecommunication) has been selected to receive a University of Florida Research Foundation Professorship award for 2002-04, Dean Terry Hynes announced today. Chan-Olmsted is the college's fourth faculty member to receive this honor (in addition to Debbie Treise, Linda Hon, and James Babanikos).
This three-year professorship recognizes faculty who have established a distinguished record of research and scholarship that is expected to lead to continuing distinction in their field. Recipients are awarded a $5,000 salary supplement in each of the three years they hold the title, and they receive a one-time $3,000 allocation to support their research.
"Sylvia's record of research accomplishment is exceptional," Hynes said. The focus of her research is telecommunication policy. She has published several articles in the past few years in top national journals, such as the Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media and Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly.
