2001 Honors: College of Fine and Applied Arts

Outstanding Faculty Award for Teaching
James Warfield, professor of architecture, has a sustained record of success, achievement and demonstrated excellence in teaching at all levels of the architecture curriculum. He has been named to the "Incomplete List of Teachers Ranked as Excellent by Their Students" 28 times for 10 different courses ranging from 100- to 400-level, from freshman classes for non-majors to graduate thesis studios.

Outstanding Faculty Award for Service
Michael Andrejasich, professor and interim director of the School of Architecture, has selflessly served the Champaign-Urbana community, the profession, the university and the school during his entire career at the UI. He is an advocate of personal and professional social responsibility and has applied this commitment to the classroom, as an adviser to non-profit groups and to his leadership in general.

Outstanding Faculty Award for Research
Nan Goggin, professor of art and design; John Hill, professor of music; and Robin McFarquhar, professor of theater, were honored for research.
Goggin has spent the past 20 years exploring the processes of visual communication. While she has engaged an array of media from traditional printmaking and letterpress printing to cutting-edge electronic technology during the course of her career, the underlying constant in her work has been an exploration of how content is gathered into effective visual messages.
Hill has had a career not only outstanding for a consistently high level of productivity but, more importantly, for the significance of his work in the reconceptualization of music history in a number of areas. Evidence of his international stature as a musicologist includes an article about him in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and his contribution of 31 articles to the seventh edition of this same major reference work.
McFarquhar is one of the leading theater movement specialists and stage-fight choreographers in the country today.
He is widely respected for his wide range of skills, his clarity in teaching difficult and potentially dangerous movements to actors with absolute safety and his ability to integrate movement scenes and stage fights seamlessly into the overall action of the play.
