MDC Announces 2011 Endowed Teaching Chairs
I am very pleased to announce the recipients of the 2011 Endowed Teaching Chairs. The recognition of our outstanding faculty via this program is among the College's most valued traditions. It is made possible by the generosity of our donors who also recognize the program’s value, and by the ongoing work of the MDC Foundation.
As much as any program at the College, the Endowed Teaching Chair reflects our identity and our aspiration to excellence as an institution. On a day-to-day basis, these professors accomplish the heart of MDC’s mission.
Please join me in congratulating the following eight professors, who will join the list of 286 endowed chair recipients honored since the program's inception in 1992:
Honorees | Endowed Chair |

Ece Karayalcin | Women in Business Endowed Teaching Chair |
Lourdes España | Rotary Club of Miami Endowed Teaching Chair |
Elena Perez-Mirabal | AT&T II Endowed Teaching Chair |
Nora Dawkins | Dade Community Foundation Endowed Teaching Chair |
Magdalena Lamarre | MDC Alumni Association Endowed Teaching Chair |
Miriam Abety | Andrew Blank Endowed Teaching Chair |
Lenora Yates | Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation Endowed Teaching Chair |
Juán Morata | Philip Morris Endowed Teaching Chair |
I would like to offer special thanks to Randall Kaufman, who served as the chair of the Endowed Teaching Chair Committee, and to all the committee members who devoted so much time in reviewing faculty submissions and portfolios.
Thank you and congratulations to this year's Endowed Teaching Chairs.
Eduardo
