science, CCAS, testified in June before the US Senate Committee on Rules
and Administration on the topic of abolishing secret “holds.”
Lauren Borkowski, graduate student, CCAS,
working with Assistant Professor of Chemistry Christopher
Cahill, CCAS, received a full tuition scholarship to attend the
2003 American Crystallographic Association’s Summer Course in Crystallography.
The two week course is held annually at Indiana University of Pennsylvania
and is an elite, highly intensive introduction to X-ray crystallography
theory and instrumentation.
Joan Regnell, associate professor of speech
and hearing, CCAS, was the focus of a May 2003 Washingtonian magazine

with transgender individuals at the GW Speech & Hearing Center.
Jonathan Stanton, assistant professor of
computer science, SEAS, led a team of GW professors — Marc
Allard, Lois Weintraub Associate Professor of Biology; Tim
McCaffrey, associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology;
Rajat Mittal, associate professor of engineering
and applied science; Rahul Simha, associate
professor of engineering and applied science; Akos
Vertes, professor of chemistry; and Chen
Zeng, assistant professor of physics — that received substantial
funding from the The National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation
program for a state of the art computer cluster.
Appointments:
Paul Churchill, professor of philosophy,
CCAS, was appointed associate dean for undergraduate studies in CCAS.
John F. Williams, provost, vice president
for health affairs, was appointed to the Homeland Security Advisory Council’s
