PROFESSOR TIM KEANE K-STATE'S 2009-2010 JARVIS CHAIR OF LANDSCAPE 1xbet online sports betting

MANHATTAN -- Tim Keane, professor of landscape 1xbet online sports betting , has been selected as the 2009-2010 Jarvis Chair of Landscape 1xbet online sports betting in Kansas State University's College of 1xbet online sports betting , Planning and Design.

This is the fifth year the ,000 annual stipend has been awarded to a K-State landscape 1xbet online sports betting faculty member.

"Faculty applied for the award by submitting a teaching portfolio, student evaluations, evidence of scholarship and a statement regarding his/her contributions to landscape 1xbet online sports betting ," said Stephanie Rolley, chair of the department of landscape 1xbet online sports betting and regional and community planning. "Three faculty from another university then form a blind jury to evaluate the applications. Tim de Noble, dean of the College of 1xbet online sports betting , Planning and Design, and Ruth Dyer, K-State's interim provost, approved the selection."

In making its selection, the jury noted the continued development of Keane's expertise in natural systems and his engagement in multidisciplinary teaching and research that broadens the recognition of the landscape 1xbet online sports betting program and profession.

Keane has taught courses in the natural resources and environmental sciences secondary major program for the last 13 years. He also has been involved in the landscape 1xbet online sports betting capstone design course. Keane is the recipient of multiple teaching awards.

Keane's research deals with stream morphology and process, as well as urban stormwater management. His work has helped to bring more than million in research funding to K-State in the last five years. He also has developed a series of natural systems and fluvial systems courses that provide a depth and breadth of material unusual to landscape 1xbet online sports betting programs.

A K-State faculty member since 1984, Keane has a bachelor's in landscape 1xbet online sports betting from Iowa State University, and a master's and doctorate, both in landscape 1xbet online sports betting , from the University of Michigan.

The Jarvis Chair of Landscape 1xbet online sports betting is funded through a bequeathed endowment established by Mary K. Jarvis, a 1942 graduate who is thought to be the first female to receive a landscape 1xbet online sports betting degree from K-State. Interest from the endowment is matched by the state's Faculty of Distinction program and is used to recognize faculty who, in the previous year, made significant contributions in their teaching, scholarship and/or service.
