“The publication is significant in recognizing the outstanding accomplishments USI faculty and staff have made in the past years. Also, this publication will allow fellow staff members, students, and members of the community to have a reference to these scholarly and creative works. This is the beginning of a publication that will be published annually, which will culminate in a 10-year report.”
Huang is working with a variety of campus officials, an opportunity she cites as exciting. She is interacting with professors in non-related science fields.
The department of Faculty Development is relatively new to the University, with Dr. Sproles' appointment effective in January 2008. An advisory board of faculty representatives offers ideas/support to the department. The department provides faculty with support in teaching, advising, leadership, and scholarship.
Sproles said, “Sunny is creative, engaged, meticulous, and has a very sophisticated understanding of the university.”
Huang said Sproles will offer an example or idea, and then she can experiment and plan on how to get it done. She has learned a great deal about making documents and communicating with other people through the position. “I’ve learned how faculty development supports University life.”
Huang plans to attend medical school. As the recipient of the Robert A. and Carole D. Rust Endowed Presidential Scholarship, she has excelled in her academic studies. She is a member of the USI American Chemical Society chapter, Honors Program, Student Ambassador Organization, and Pre-Professional Health Club. She is a graduate of Reitz High School.
