Six faculty recognized during UNT's annual Honors Day celebration

Six faculty members were recognized during the Honors Day celebration April 8 for their contributions to the university. Each spring, UNT honors students for academic excellence and presents faculty with student-awarded honors for high-quality teaching and service to the UNT community.

Four faculty members were chosen as Student Government Association Honor Professors — Randolph "Mike" Campbell, Regents Professor of history; Robin Henson, assistant professor of technology and cognition; James Roberts, professor of physics; and David Keathly, lecturer in computer science and engineering.

David W. Hill, professor of kinesiology, health promotion and recreation, received the 'Fessor Graham Award, the highest honor given by the student body. Named for the late Professor Floyd Graham, the award is presented to a faculty member for outstanding and unselfish service to students.

Harry Benshoff, assistant professor of radio, television and film, was presented with the Student Government Association's Alton Thibodeaux Leadership in Diversity Award. The award, created in 2002, is in honor of Thibodeaux, UNT's first African American equal opportunity officer, and his service and commitment to leadership in the area of diversity at the university.
