ORDER OF EXERCISES AWARDS

DR. RICHARD F. SOUTHBY POLICE SCIENCE PRIZE

Recipient: Casey Michael Urban, Police Science

Dr. Richard F. Southby was a faculty member at the George Washington University from 1979 to 2006, having served as department chair, associate dean, interim dean of the former School of Public Health and Health Services, distinguished professor of global health, and executive dean in the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Health Affairs. He was granted emeritus status by the Board of Trustees in 2006.

Dr. Southby was the founding director of the Police Science Program in the College of Professional Studies. In addition, he is the commanding officer, Reserve Corps Division, Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, D.C.

He continues his involvement with the College of Professional Studies as the chair of the Dean’s Council and senior advisor to the Police and Security Studies (formerly the Police Science) Program.

The Dr. Richard F. Southby Police Science Prize is presented to the graduating student designated as the Distinguished Scholar in the Bachelor of Professional Studies Degree in Police Science or Police and Security Studies.

The prize was established by his wife, Dr. Janet R. Southby, Colonel, U.S. Army, Ret.

FOUNDERS AWARD FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Recipient: Lawrence Michael Doane, Legislative Affairs

F. Christopher Arterton, Professor Emeritus of Political Management, was the founding Dean of the Graduate School of Political Management (GSPM), serving 23 years from 1987 to 2010. Dr. Arterton's research, teaching, and consulting on American public opinion made him an expert on the strategic environment of American political leaders. Under his leadership, the GSPM grew from 23 students to over 500 studying in four master’s degree programs and assumed its place as the nation's first and foremost school for professional politics. He remains a trusted advisor to GSPM’s faculty and staff, and a beloved mentor to students and alumni.

Henry D. Paley and Neal Fabricant were the co-founders of the New York State Legislative Institute at Baruch College, which provided the institutional base for establishing the GSPM. Their ideas continue to inform our thinking about politics and education, and their spirit still resonates among those whose lives they enriched.

Named in their honor, the Founders Award for Academic Excellence is given to a graduate of the GSPM who has demonstrated academic achievement and a commitment to advancing the thought leadership in his or her chosen profession.
