The Faculty Recognition Dinner was held Jan. 29 at the Kellogg Global Hub.

Subgroups of the committee organized by academic area selected the most prestigious awards for recognition from their respective academic areas.
Two professors, Patty Loew of the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications, and David Cella of the Feinberg School of Medicine, offered short presentations of their work to fellow honorees.
