Brian Freeman Receives 2009 Educator's Award

Assistant Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology Brian Freeman received the 2009 Educator’s Award from the UI Alumni Association in April. He was nominated by Joyce Woo, a graduating senior who entered the U of I at age 14. “As a student, there are few ways I can thank an individual who has served as a leader, role model and mentor,” Woo wrote, saying she considered it “an honor to have studied under a brilliant scientist and great person.”
