For maintaining sustained, helpful and inspiring professional relationships with students at the Texas A&M College of Architecture, Leslie Feigenbaum, the college’s assistant dean for undergraduate studies, recently received a 2008 Association of Former Students University Distinguished Award.
Feigenbaum, a senior lecturer in the Department of Construction Science, was one of two honorees earning the award in the student relations category at the April 29 ceremonies in the Rudder Theatre.
According to the criteria for the award, recipients “exhibit concern for the welfare and development of students and have demonstrated a willingness to meet the special needs of students while insuring that students accept their responsibilities and strive to meet their own potentials; they go beyond the requirements of their appointments to give time and effort to student growth and service.”
The University Distinguished Awards were established by the Board of Directors of the Association of Former Students and were first presented in 1955.
A total of 23 university-level honors were awarded this year. Each award consists of a $4,000 gift, a framed certificate, and an engraved watch.
