Dr. Beatrice Dupuy, a faculty member in SLAT, French & Italian, and Public and Applied Humanities, is the recipient of the Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs Honored Faculty Award. Dr. Dupuy, the former Chair of SLAT, received the award because of her incredible dedication, time, and service to SLAT and to the GIDPs in general. She has served as the Chair of GIDPAC, a member of GIDPAC, the Chair of SLAT, a member of SLAT's Executive Council, and a member of several SLAT subcommittees throughout the years. She has been a reviewer for various GIDP awards, led SLAT through an Annual Program Review and curriculum revision, teaches SLAT-related courses annually, and has served as the chair of 20 (and counting) SLAT comprehensive exam committees and dissertation committees.

SLAT, the GIDPs, and the University of Arizona are incredibly honored to count Dr. Dupuy as a member of our community. Congratulations, Dr. Dupuy!

SLAT is excited to announce that Dr. Chantelle Warner, SLAT Faculty and German Studies Faculty, has been recognized with the Chatfield Outstanding Tenured Researcher Award, from the University of Arizona's College of Humanities. Dr. Warner was nominated for this award by a group of University of Arizona faculty and staff who are inspired by her impressive achievements. Her colleagues have described her commendable records of publications and grants, her exemplary teaching and advising, and her admirable and widely recognized service to the University and to her profession, both nationally and internationally.

The Chatfield Awards are named after Helen H. Chatfield, a College of Humanities alumna and great friend of the College, and are designed to honor Ms. Chatfield's life. Four scholars were recognized by the Dorrance Dean Durand this year, one in each of the following categories: Anti-Racist Research, Teaching, or Service Award; Impact Award: Outstanding Tenured Researcher Award; and Outstanding Untenured Researcher Award.
