Dr. David Dommer Honored as Advisor of the Year

MOUNT OLIVE – Dr. David Dommer, assistant professor of biology, is the recipient of the 2011-2012 Advisor of the Year award. The person who nominated Dr. Dommer said the following:  “I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Dommer and the impact he has made on this campus over the last year.  We need more advisors like him and I can think of no better way to honor his contribution or encourage other faculty to step up than by awarding him the Advisor of the Year award.”

Dr. Dommer has consistently shown his ability to serve as an ethical, positive role model and mentor for his students.
