Nyasha Borde receives Dean's Distinction

On Thursday, February 22, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Michael Smith announced this year's recipients of the Dean's Distinction award, honoring Faculty of Arts and Sciences staff members "whose contributions, citizenship, and skillful collaboration have delivered outstanding results for the FAS in 2017." Among the thirty-nine individuals recognized for their excellence was Department of Philosophy Coordinator Nyasha Borde.

Nyasha joined the department as Administrative Staff Assistant in May 2015 and very quickly established herself as both an indispensible resource and a warm and welcoming presence for faculty, graduate students, and department visitors. In February of 2018, Nyasha was promoted to Department Coordinator, succeeding Emily Ware in that role.

The department offers Nysha its heartfelt congratulations on this well-deserved honor.
