Please join us in congratulating Deborah Hempel-Medina, winner of the 2013 Faculty Appreciation Week Award for the Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering. Nominations for this award were submitted by students in the PGE department, and winners were determined solely by the engineering student body.
Hempel-Medina is a lecturer in the PGE department, and teaches the Engineering Communication course, which covers technical and professional communication as well as engineering ethics. New to the department in fall 2012, Hempel-Medina has quickly become a student favorite because of her practical and enthusiastic approach to teaching.
On receiving the award, Hempel-Medina said: “I’m here for the students, and as such, it’s an extreme honor to be recognized by those who I am trying to serve.”
Hempel-Medina will be honored alongside other faculty departmental winners from the Cockrell School at an awards ceremony hosted by the Student Engineering Council. This ceremony will take place Thursday, March 7, from 4- 6 pm in the Student Activity Center Ballroom. All engineering students are invited, but space is limited. To RSVP for the reception, please visit the SEC website.
