Congratulations to my friend Ursula Shepherd, University of New Mexico biology professor who has been named the nation’s “professor of the year” among research universities. This is an award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The award is considered the nation’s most prestigious undergraduate teaching award. At least five out of every six students who participated in Shepherd’s National Science Foundation-sponsored biology research trips between 1998 and 2006 have gone on to complete medical school, a professional school degree or a Ph.D. All this and Ursula and her very talented husband Bill rebuilt an older home in Tunnel Springs area of Placitas (right on the national forest boundary) and are great gardeners. Keep up the good work!
