Dr. Robert Mauldin, Professor of Analytical Chemistry in the UCA Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, received the Professor of the Year Award at the Central Arkansas Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) on Tuesday, April 15, at an awards banquet on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. The executive council of the UCA student affiliates section of the ACS nominated Dr. Mauldin, with chemistry major Natalie Stocks writing the nomination. In the letter of nomination, Natalie stated that Mauldin “cultivated an environment where students were inspired to ask questions, and, no matter what their background or skill level, were empowered to succeed.” The nomination letter included the statement that Dr. Mauldin practices a “unique incorporation of philosophy into his teaching, which proves particularly effective in a chemistry course….by encouraging students to questions assumptions, explore the underlying principles of scientific theories, and reflect on the broader implications of chemical concepts, Dr. Mauldin fosters a deeper understanding of the material.” With this award, Mauldin joins the excellent company of Drs. Faith Yarberry and Greg Naumiec, also from the UCA Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, who have received this award previously.
