Two BMB faculty Tom Gilmore, and Cyndi Bradham received awards from the College of Arts and Sciences for their work during the 2020-2021 academic year. Congratulations to Tom and Cyndi on this achievement.
On May 5, Dr. Tom Gilmore was awarded the 2021 Dean’s Award for Excellence in Graduate Education and Dr. Cyndi Bradham was awarded a Templeton Award for Excellent in Student Advising. From his nominators:
“Thirty years ago, Thomas started the Biology Department’s weekly graduate-student seminar series, which remains an integral part of the curriculum for the Cell & Molecular and Molecular and Cellular Biology and Biochemistry (MCBB) graduate programs. Since 2019, he has directed the MCBB graduate program, an umbrella program incorporating faculty from several BU departments, and he has made changes to the admission process that have both enhanced the experience for students and elevated the program’s quality.”
And from her nominators:
“Cynthia’s nominators noted she saw her role as much more than just helping students to choose classes and was especially helpful with academic skills. According to one of her nominators, ‘When I first transferred to Boston University I was lost. I didn’t know how to study or how to properly take any test. After doing bad on my first test, Professor Bradham reached out to me and invited me other office hours. She not only helped me with the class but with my testing anxiety and overall mental health.’”
Congratulations to Tom, and Cyndi for these well-deserved awards and thank you all for your hard work!
