Hahn, Tivey win Arnold B. Aarons Award

Please join me in congratulating the Biology Department's own Senior Scientist Dr. Mark Hahn for winning the Arnold B. Aarons Award for excellence in teaching, advising and mentoring.  Dr. Margaret ("Meg") Tivey, Senior Scientist in Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry, will also be a recipient this year. The awards will be presented at the WHOI graduation ceremony on Saturday, June 5. Mark and Meg join previous awardees Dr. Joe Pedlosky (Physical Oceanography) and Dr. Lauren Mullineaux (Biology).

I think I speak for all of us on the Scientific Staff who have worked with Mark during his tenure as the Biology Department's Education Coordinator or in his capacity as the Chair of JCBO, that we (and our students!) have always valued his advice and guidance on all matters educational.  In my opinion, the Award Committee couldn't have found another mensch more deserving of the honor.

Congratulations Mark!
