Lifetime Achievement Award<\/h3>\n

Fred Horne<\/h2>\n

As Dean of the College of Science for more than 13 years (1986-2000), Fred Horne was responsible for hiring some of the best scientists and leaders at Oregon State University. Of the 70 faculty that he hired, most remain at OSU and have made sizeable contributions. Horne had a deep commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in science, and during his tenure, he actively increased the number of women scientists at the university. The Fred Horne Award for Excellence in Teaching Science and the Clara Ann and Fred Horne Women in Science Scholarship have had a decisive impact on education and undergraduate achievement in the College.<\/p>\n
