Faculty and Staff

Dear Colleagues,

I hope you are having a productive and rewarding semester and are looking forward to a much-deserved winter break. I am delighted to share good news about two of our Daemen colleagues.

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Professor Lisa Parshall, who has been promoted to the rank of Distinguished Professor. As Daemen’s newest and only Distinguished Professor, Lisa is an excellent role model for our community. Her scholarship, teaching, and record of service are exemplary. Her work has had a major influence in the field of Political Science. I would also like to recognize her leadership in Faculty Senate and the 2023 Middle States steering committee.

Lisa’s appointment begins at the start of the new academic year. Please help me congratulate her on this much-deserved distinction: lparshal@daemen.edu

I am also pleased to share that Lamark Shaw is a recipient of one of this year’s coveted IDEA awards, which recognize champions of inclusion, diversity, equity, and awareness in the community and the workplace. Lamark will be honored in an upcoming ceremony. You can congratulate him at lshaw2@daemen.edu

Both Lisa and Lamark bring great distinction to Daemen.

I look forward to seeing you at the faculty and staff holiday reception coming up on December 14 at 3:30 p.m. in the Yurtchuk Student Center Social Room.

Cordially,
Gary A. Olson Signature
