May 2019. Dr. Ivan Rusyn, Director of the Texas A&M University Superfund Center, and professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences’ (CVM) Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences (VIBS), is one of Texas A&M University’s first five faculty members to be bestowed the title of University Professor.
The designation of “University Professor” recognizes faculty who have demonstrated significant and sustained accomplishments in their discipline, earning national and international recognition. The award also highlights the recipients’ commitment to inclusivity, accountability, climate and equity in their department, college, and throughout their service at Texas A&M.
Dr. Rusyn named the professorship after the late Professor KC Donnelly, former department head of environmental and occupational health at the School of Public Health at Texas A&M, who played a major role in the Texas A&M University Superfund Project.
