The Kemper fellowships recognize outstanding teachers and advisers at KU as determined by a seven-member selection committee. Now in their 12th year, the awards are supported by $650,000 in gifts from the William T. Kemper Foundation (Commerce Bank, trustee) and $650,000 in matching funds from KU Endowment. According to Vicky Unruh, chair of the Spanish and Portuguese department, “Her versatility bears repeating, because it exemplifies not only the intellectual breadth to which she exposes KU students but also her outstanding citizenship in contributing to the multi-faceted challenges of our department’s teaching mission.”
