CBCS Faculty Members Named New AAAS Fellows

We are thrilled to announce that for the first time, two of our CBCS faculty members have been elected as new AAAS Fellows. Congratulations to Dr. Kathleen Heide in the Department of Criminology and Dr. William Haley in the School of Aging Studies on this extraordinary accomplishment and honor. Election as a Fellow is a distinction bestowed upon the American Association for the Advancement of Science members by their peers in recognition of their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications. Dr. Haley was elected AAAS Fellow in the Psychology Section for advancing understanding of the psychological, social, and health impacts on family members providing care for relatives with Alzheimer's disease, stroke, cancer and terminal illness. Dr. Heide was elected AAAS Fellow in the Social, Economic and Political Sciences Section for distinguished contributions to the field of criminology, particularly with respect to juvenile homicide and parricide. New Fellows will be presented with an official certificate and a gold and blue rosette pin on February 16 during the 2019 AAAS Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. I'm sure I speak for the entire college when I say how proud we are of both faculty members and thank them for elevating the college to this level of recognition.
