Montgomery Selected as COPLAC Nominee
Chad Montgomery, professor of biology, is Truman’s nominee for the 2023 COPLAC Dunn Award.
Each year the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC) asks its member institutions to submit one nominee to be considered for the Dunn Award. This award recognizes a faculty member whose commitment to student success goes beyond the traditional roles of teacher, academic advisor and mentor. The goal is to recognize a faculty colleague who consistently enacts the values of the public liberal arts – to foster engagement with learning, communities and public service.
