Professor Aimeé Dorr, UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, and Professor Calvin C. Moore, Department of Mathematics (UCB), were chosen as the 2004 co-recipients of the Senate’s Oliver Johnson Award for Distinguished Senate Leadership. Professors Dorr and Moore will be honored at the Annual Senate Chairs’ Dinner scheduled for July 21, 2004.

Aimee Dorr

Aimeé Dorr, Professor of Education and Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at UC Los Angeles, was an exceptionally effective leader of the UC faculty. She served in numerous Senate leadership positions, including Chair of the UCLA Graduate Council in 1991-92 and Chair of CCGA in 1993-94. She was Vice Chair and Chair of the UCLA Division (1995-96; 1996-97) and Vice Chair and Chair of the systemwide Academic Senate (1997-98; 1998-99). Professor Dorr was particularly instrumental in the development of significant policies and standards relating to graduate student affairs.

Calvin Moore

Calvin C. Moore, Mathematics Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley, played a pivotal role in shaping admissions and eligibility policy at the University and successfully guided the Senate at a time when admissions policies were challenged legally and under intense scrutiny. As a five-year member of the Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools (BOARS), he helped forge the universitywide transition to Comprehensive Review and helped lead major UC initiatives in admissions and eligibility.
