Distinguished Faculty Scholars
Distinguished Faculty Scholars are tenured professors whose body of scholarship and current level of scholarly activity warrant distinction within the university community. The Center for Excellence in Scholarship and Research (CESR) and the Faculty Research Committee select up to three Distinguished Faculty Scholars annually. Once named a Distinguished Faculty Scholar, recipients maintain the distinction for the remainder of their tenure at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
In spring 2008, the Center for Excellence in Scholarship and Research recognized professors Suzanne Bunkers, David Dickau, and James Robertson as Minnesota State Mankato's first Distinguished Faculty Scholars. Combined, the three recipients have taught at Minnesota State Mankato for over 70 years—during which they have achieved national prominence for their scholarly and creative work.
Dr. Suzanne Bunkers, Department of English
Dr. David Dickau, Department of Music
Mr. James Robertson, Department of Sociology and Corrections
