2003 RESEARCH CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD
This is a new award established to provide special support for research by faculty who have assumed an unusually heavy teaching, advising, extension and/or service load during the past two to three years. In 2003 two Research Career Development Awards were presented.
MARY ANN EASTLICK, Chair, Division of Retailing and Consumer Sciences, School of Family and Consumer Sciences
Since joining the Retailing and Consumer Sciences Division (RCSC) in 1992, Mary Ann Eastlick has been a pioneer in developing many new academic offerings, ranging from undergraduate and graduate programs to a research program. Over the past 10 years this program has experienced a phenomenal growth. During Eastlick’s tenure the RCSC undergraduate enrollment has nearly quadrupled. Without her initial and ongoing involvement and dedication this success would not have been possible. Eastlick has advised hundreds of undergraduate students and has served as graduate coordinator. Most recently, Eastlick was appointed chair of the division.
