Warners Garners Two Awards

May 3, 2006 == MEDIA ADVISORY

A popular professor at Calvin College has been surprised with two awards in
less than a week.

Dave Warners, a professor of biology, received the Mary Jane Dockery Award
last week from the Land Conservancy of West Michigan (joining Calvin colleague
Randy VanDragt as one of two honorees).

Then today he was honored as the 2006 Professor of the Year by the senior
class at Calvin, an award sponsored by the college's student alumni association
which began the award in 1998 as a way for the senior class to honor a current
Calvin faculty memebr who has made an impact on the lives of students.

The recipient is "an outstanding teacher, one who has made significant efforts
to guide the lives of students in faith and in learning." Criteria for the
award include excellence in teaching, spiritual impact and concern for
students.

The Mary Jane Dockery Award also has an educational focus.

It is given annual to the region's premier environmental educators,
recognizing an individual or organization that has made a significant
contribution to the quality of nature interpretation or to conservation efforts
in West Michigan.
