Jack, a current United board member, is a Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Macalester College, and Marty is a Professor Emerita of Family Education at the University of Minnesota. The Rossmanns, who prize education by word and deed, have already established faculty development and excellence awards at Macalester and the University of Minnesota. Now they have generously extended faculty support to United. As they explained recently, “Faculty excellence is crucial to the continued success of United Seminary. We hope that the Rossmann Faculty Development Award will play a role in helping to maintain that excellence.” Starting this year, United faculty members can apply for support twice each year. Applications are due either February 1 or October 1. If granted, awards will support activities such as attending professional meetings, offsetting publication-related expenses (including stipends for students who assist with publication tasks), and hiring consultants to assist with writing or teaching activities. “Jack and Marty Rossmann established this award,” noted President Molly T. Marshall, “because of their own academic careers and their love of supporting faculty development.” For their continuing service and generosity, Jack and Marty Rossmann have our deepest gratitude. We honor their lifelong commitment to education and working toward the betterment of society. ### [Diane Riggs](https://blog.unitedseminary.edu/the-canvas/author/diane-riggs) ## Your Comments : Previous Post ##### [The Living Legacy of Dr. Judith Scoville](https://blog.unitedseminary.edu/the-canvas/living-legacy-dr-judith-scoville) Next Post ##### [At United, Kateri Boucher Is Inspired to Chase Her Childhood Dreams](https://blog.unitedseminary.edu/the-canvas/kateri-boucher-chases-childhood-dreams) ### Search Blog - Latest Posts - Popular Posts [Rev.
