Professors Jigna Desai and Monica Luciana Awarded Dean's Medal
Congratulations to Professors Jigna Desai (gender, women & sexuality studies) and Monica Luciana (psychology) who have been named College of Liberal Arts Dean's Medalists.
Dean’s Medalists are scholars who exemplify the highest standards of research, instruction, interdisciplinary reach, University citizenship, academic leadership, and local and national engagement. This honor is made possible through the generosity of an anonymous donor to the college. The tradition of awarding a Dean’s Medal goes back to 1998.

Professor Jigna Desai has spent her career exploring a wide range of disciplines in search of deeper truths.

Distinguished McKnight University Professor Monica Luciana pursues research that illuminates the links between brain activity and behavior.
