IMPACTFUL
RECOGNIZING THOSE WHO HAVE LED THE WAY
Over the course of the last year — and looking forward into the next — the College of Health Sciences will say goodbye to quite a few outstanding professors. Here, we wanted to honor them, and let them reflect on their time here. Maybe Tony English says it the best:
"Thank everyone for your dedication and expertise and the willingness to share it with students,” he said. “Remember the impact our teaching, research and service has on our world. That is what keeps us all going!”
Robert Marshall, PhD, F-ASHA, CCC-SLP, BC-ANCDS, HONORS-ASHA
“I have been a Speech-Language Pathologist for 60 years and during that time I have been recognized for my achievements, but for me personally, my biggest achievements are the lives I hope I have touched of my students and patients. It is the human connections and bonds formed with these individuals that I will remember and cherish throughout my retirement.”

Kim Campbell, MSEd, MLS(ASCP)CM
“I love connecting with my students and watching them grow and develop into independent thinkers. It’s extremely rewarding to guide a student through their education and to follow their accomplishments after graduation. CHS has been like a family with everyone working together for the good of the student.”

Lynn English, PT, DPT, MSEd
“The most rewarding thing for me has been the continual learning, and watching the transformation of students, watching them get excited about the changes they can facilitate for the people who need them at a critical time in their lives.”

Charlotte Peterson, PhD
“(In the Center for Muscle Biology) we’ve built a community here,” Peterson said. “And we are producing, whether that is bringing in grant funding, or contributing to our national and international reputation as an authority on cutting edge muscle research. We’re excited to see what we can continue to do in the future.”

Geza Bruckner, PhD
“Helping create the HHS and CLM programs is one of the highlights of my career. I have so many wonderful memories of my doctoral students. It’s satisfying to see so many who continued along the nutrition path. Many students felt like my teaching style was what sparked their interest in different areas. This is the highest compliment given to you as an educator.”

Robert (Tony) English, PT, PhD
“The PT program remains a program in which current faculty staff and students, along with graduates across the Commonwealth and beyond, feel a family connectedness with each other. This was started before I arrived, but continues and I hope it will continue to thrive.”

Sam Powdrill, MPHIL, P-AC
“I’m a clinician at heart and I love the hands-on skills that I teach. I’ve taught the physical exam for years now including things like suturing, IVs, etc. Those moments when everything clicks and a student just gets it are what makes my day as an educator. To see my students hone their practical skills, do them well, and be accurate, that’s the best part of my job.”
RETIRED: 1/3/2020
Joseph Stemple, PhD, CCC-SLP, ASHAF
“I love mentoring our doctoral students. I will miss these relationships the most. Students become like your own children. I love to see them succeed and do great things.”
