This award is
presented by the
Graduate Student Organization to a graduate
school faculty member who has repeatedly demonstrated concern
for student rights and issues, and who has acted on the half of
the student body.
Golda A.
Kevetter-Leonard
received her B.S. in biology and chemistry from Texas Woman’s
University (Denton, Texas) and her Ph.D. in neuroscience from
the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Mich.). She continued her
training as a postdoctoral fellow at Case Western Reserve
University from 1978–1980, and also at UTMB from 1980–1982,
after which she joined the UTMB faculty in the Departments of
Otolaryngology and Anatomy
and Neurosciences.
Dr. Leonard has worked tirelessly
to enrich the educational experience of graduate students at
UTMB. She has served on numerous committees including the
Committee in Support of Science Education, the GSBS Executive
Committee, and the Basic Biomedical Sciences Curriculum Steering
Committee. In addition, she has generously provided leadership
and support as the chair of the Recruitment Committee and is the
current co-chair of the Summer Undergraduate Research
Program—bolstering these programs that bring top graduate
students to UTMB. Dr. Leonard also serves as the director of the
cell biology graduate Program, and she has served on
dissertation and examination committees for 13 students
extending across seven graduate programs. The GSO selected Dr.
Leonard for the Faculty Award for Student Advocacy in 2002.
