Gaber.<\/p><\/div>The award is presented annually to an individual whose work defines the core values of the University in Hymore\u2019s spirit of support, encouragement and service.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the two decades Dr. Fischer-Kinney has dedicated to the University, her decisions have always been shaped with the student in mind,\u201d a nominator wrote. \u201cShe constantly seeks student feedback on various issues in order to ensure the best outcome for the student.

Additionally, she has transformed the success coaching initiative from a raw idea into a powerful movement that is truly impacting student lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMany students struggle to find their ambition, but Dr. Fischer-Kinney helps instill motivation to allow the student to discover their full academic potential,\u201d a nominator wrote. \u201cRegardless of how busy her schedule may be, Dr. Fischer-Kinney always makes time to be there for the student.
