January 2006 > Faculty> Honors
Diehl, Mahiri, Lambert, Gifford Honored
Cognition and Development Lecturer Christine Diehl was recently selected as a UC Berkeley "Everyday Hero," one of only 200 Cal staff or instructors picked from more than 4,000 student nominations in an online survey as part of the 2005 UC Undergraduate Experience Survey (UCUES) conducted by the Office of Student Research.
Undergraduates were asked to identify a staff person or instructor who “made an extraordinary effort to make your undergraduate experience (or that of your fellow students) better, resolved a difficult problem for you, or otherwise [went] beyond the call of duty on your behalf.”
For her efforts, Diehl and the other honorees received letters on Nov. 1 from Chancellor Robert Birgeneau which expressed his “deepest appreciation for your contribution” and “to recognize your extraordinary contribution to undergraduate education at UC Berkeley as a role model to your peers, colleagues and especially students within and beyond your department.”
Two Everyday Heros are profiled each day on the UC Berkeley News Center.
GSE Associate Professor Jabari Mahiri was a 2005 recipient of the UC Graduate Assembly’s Faculty Mentorship Award.
The awards honor Senate and non-Senate members of the Berkeley faculty who have shown an outstanding commitment to developing and supporting graduate student researchers and “have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help graduate students become outstanding scholars.”
Mahiri and three other selected research mentors received their awards and a $1,000 prize in May. Assistant Professor Patricia Baquedano-López won the award in 2004.
More information, including nomination guidelines and forms are available.
The American Psychological Association (APA) honored GSE Professor Nadine Lambert with the Senior Scientist Award in the School Division at its 2005 Annual Convention in August. The award is presented to school psychologists who throughout their careers have demonstrated exceptional programs of scholarship that merit special recognition. The award is made for a sustained program of outstanding theoretical and research activity.

Professor Bernard Gifford was inducted into the Brooklyn Technical High School Hall of Fame in November. Gifford, a 1961 graduate of the school, and four other alumni, were recognized for achieving distinction in their respective fields as well as inspiration to future generations of Tech students.
Brooklyn Tech each year graduates the largest class in the New York City public high school system. Student applicants come from all five boroughs of New York City and are admitted after having passed an entrance examination that measures their ability to achieve in a rigorous curriculum of engineering, science, computers, technology and humanities.
