Washington: An Indian
American professor, Dr. Mohammad Jahangeer Warsi, has been
selected as a 2011-2012 recipient of the James E. McLeod Faculty
Recognition Award by the students of Washington University in St.
Louis, Missouri.
Previously called the Faculty Awards, this year the ArtSci Council
decided to rename the event in honour of one of their biggest
supporters James E. McLeod.
Viewed as a very prestigious honour in academics, the award is
given to those who have positively and profoundly influenced the
educational experiences to the students at Washington University.
Warsi, a gold medallist linguist from Aligarh Muslim University
and a West Bengal Academy award holder, will receive the honour
April 16 at a Recognition Ceremony hosted by the School Council,
the undergraduate organization and executive governing body for
the College of Arts & Sciences.
He is also the recipient of "unsung Hero" award from the
University of California at Berkeley in 2005, and a recipient of
UP Hindi-Urdu Literary Award 2011.
Congratulating Warsi, Robert E Hegel, Chair of the Department of
East Asian Languages and Cultures said: "This is indeed exciting
news--congratulations! This is a wonderful honour and strong
testament to your efforts in the classroom".
Laura Olivier, a senior student at Washington University said: "I
am ever so grateful to Warsi for all the work he has put into my
development as a student of both linguistics and Indian culture".
