Mazel Tov to
Ruthie Feinstein
and all her family
on the occasion of her
Bat Mitzvah!

The Office of Research held the first Tulane University Research, Scholarship and Artistic Achievement Awards on Thursday, Nov. 4, to honor outstanding Tulane scholars and recognize their exceptional research - and THREE of our congregants received awards!
Mazel Tov to Robert Force, Mia Bagneris, and Jana Lipman on these honors.

Robert Force received the Research Hall of Fame Award. The award is for lifetime achievement and recognizes scholars who have made substantial contributions to advancing knowledge during their academic careers. |
Mia Bagneris received both the Spirit of Tulane Award, which recognizes outstanding achievement of scholars whose work embodies Tulane’s motto, “Not for oneself, but for one’s own,” and enhances the university’s research mission, as well as the Funding Award, honoring scholars in the STEM and non-STEM fields who have been awarded the largest combined dollar amount of funding during the previous year. |
Jana Lipman received the Student/Trainee Research Mentoring Award, which recognizes exceptional research mentors. |
