ISyE faculty member Dr. Jane Ammons was recognized as the Georgia Tech 2003 Woman of Distinction in the Outstanding Faculty Member category. The presentation took place at a banquet held during this year's Women's Leadership Conference, February 7-8, in the Georgia Tech Student Center.

The WLC began during the winter of 1998 as means to celebrate, recognize, and learn more about the strong leadership exhibited by women of the Georgia Tech community. The conference is a gathering of women who have sought to become leaders in the classroom and the boardroom as well as the communities where they reside.

An overview of Dr. Ammons national and international activities and accomplishments portrays a distinguished professional who has successfully integrated research, education, and service. Dr. Ammons has proven to be an exceptional role model to other faculty members, and through her efforts, she has made a tremendous difference at Georgia Tech and in the engineering profession as a whole. Currently, Dr. Ammons is the Georgia Tech College of Engineering NSF ADVANCE Professor of Engineering and a professor in Industrial and Systems Engineering.

This award was a carefully crafted surprise for Dr. Ammons. The concept was initiated by ISyE Development Director Diane Kollar and her nomination developed by Paul Griffin, ISyE Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies. They successfully kept the secret for several months, and deserve special recognition for their sneakiness.

For two of the past six years, this award has been given to ISyE women. Donna Llewellyn; a former ISyE faculty member and administrator, and now the Director of Georgia Tech's Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL), was named the first award winner of the Georgia Tech Woman of Distinction in 1998 when she was a member of ISyE.
