You Can Make A Difference To Faculty

"In business terms, I am impressed by the product of the University.  It's all about the people and how exceptional they are, not just bricks and mortar.  This is demonstrated daily  on the PSU campus and buy its students, faculty and administration." - Wallace R. Stevens 

Daniel R. Perkins, professor of music and director of choral activities, is the first Stevens-Bristow Distinguished Professor at Plymouth State University.  Perkins' groups are known to perform with a high level of subtlety, artistry, nuance and passion.  "I am extremely proud of our numerous alums who are teaching, literally, throughout the world, with the passion and intensity they observed and felt during their time in the Department of Music, Theatre and Dance," Perkins said.  "PSU has provided an environment in which our students and I have the freedom to explore, travel and work internationally, collaborate with excellent colleagues.  It is an honor to be the recipient of an award that supports this work."

"I love the idea that the professorship touches the lives of professors who are educating educators," said Meredith Bristow Stevens.  "If this allows a professor the opportunity to explore a new idea then everyone ultimately benefits.  By underwriting this professorship we can provide an experience that the recipient might not have otherwise had."

The Bristow-Stevens distinguished professor must have a record of excellence in teaching, advising or mentoring; evidence of scholarly activity or creativity that is recognized nationally or internationally, and exhibit outstanding contributions to the profession, University or state.

Stevens currently serves as Chair of the Plymouth State University President's Council—a group dedicated to raising funds for endowments and developing University resources that will advance the mission and vision of PSU.
