Members of the department, students, guests, and emeriti faculty were on hand for the 16th annual Honors and Awards dinner on March 26. Twenty-four graduate and undergraduate students were recognized for their achievements and were awarded more than $6000 in scholarships.

   This year's recipient of the Outstanding External Organization/Agency Award was the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH).  For more than 30 years, the ISDH has provided guest speakers for a variety of classes and seminars, as well as invaluable experiences for our students through internships and on-the-job training.

   We also recognized the achievements of two alumni, Jeff Barber (‘89) and Steve Bohnenblust (‘72), by presenting them with the 2006 Outstanding Alumnus Award.  As coordinator of Indiana's Safe and Drug-Free Schools program, Dr. Barber serves as liaison between the Department of Education and the directors of the nine education service regions.

   Dr. Steve Bohnenblust is currently Professor of Health Science at the Minnesota State University-Mankato and serves as Faculty Association President there. He has authored text books and numerous journal articles, and held offices within AAHPERD, MAHPERD and the national Eta Sigma Gamma honorary.
