Dr. Diane Murphy, the Chair of Information Technology, Data Science and Cybersecurity at Marymount University, has been announced as one of the recipients of the 2020 Outstanding Faculty Awards by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV)<\/a> and Dominion Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since 1987, these awards from the state\u0092s coordinating agency for higher education have recognized faculty at Virginia\u0092s institutions of higher learning who exemplify the highest standards of teaching, scholarship and service. Nominees are selected by the institutions, reviewed by a panel of peers and chosen by a committee of leaders from the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n

In all, 85 nominations were submitted this year. This group was narrowed to a field of 27 finalists, and then to the 12 official recipients. Dr. Murphy and the other 11 award recipients will receive a $7,500 gift from Dominion Energy at a special ceremony in Richmond on March 9, 2020.<\/p>\n

\u0093It is so exciting to be selected for this award with such a prestigious group of recipients from across the state,\u0094 Dr. Murphy said. \u0093It is indeed an honor for me and Marymount to be recognized at this level. I thank my Marymount family \u0096 colleagues, students and alumni \u0096 for their wonderful words of support. A big thanks also goes to Michelle Steiner, who was my guide and mentor throughout the application process.\u0094<\/p>\n
