State professor Dr. Timothy M. Stearns is among five 2007 recipients of
the prestigious California State University Wang Family Excellence
Award.
A professor of management in the Craig School of Business, Stearns
designed, implemented and continues to manage the curriculum for the
university’s entrepreneurship programs. He launched the Lyles Center for
Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Fresno State in 2001 and is a
community leader in the Collaborative Regional Initiative.
The Wang award was established in fall 1998 when then-Trustee Stanley T.
Wang provided $1 million to reward outstanding faculty and
administrators. The award is designed to "celebrate those CSU faculty
and administrators who through extraordinary commitment and dedication
have distinguished themselves by exemplary contributions and
achievements in their academic disciplines and areas of assignment."
Annually, during a 10 year-period, four faculty and one administrator
throughout the CSU system will receive $20,000 awards. This is the ninth
year the awards have been given.
Wang, who in fall 2000 gave an addition of $1.2 million to establish
student and faculty travel scholarships for China study, is the largest
individual donor to the CSU system office.
