The Mallory-Wilson Center Faculty/Staff Recognition Award was established by the Mallory-Wilson Center Board of Directors in 2014 to honor one Miami University faculty or staff person each year who demonstrated outstanding dedication and commitment to undergraduate pre-medical training. The Mallory-Wilson Center Student Advisory Board solicits nominations for the award from graduating seniors and then select the awardee from nominations received.
This year we are proud to announce that the MWC Faculty/Staff Recognition Award goes to Dr. Kyle Timmerman. Dr. Timmerman is Professor and Chair of the Department of Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health at Miami University and teaches courses relating physical activity to fitness, and about chronic diseases, disorders, and disabilities that are commonplace and can be managed with exercise and physical activity. His research focuses on the interactions among physical activity, inflammation, aging, and biomarkers of disease. In addition to his teaching and research, Dr. Timmerman has been a dedicated mentor to pre-health students, supporting their academic, professional, and career development through advising, research experiences, and classroom instruction.
Dr. Timmerman’s nomination from students described his great impact on Miami’s pre-health community. Here are a few excerpts:
“Dr. Timmerman loves his students and truly wants to help them understand. He also works to develop a true connection with his students and keep the class fun.”
“He truly cares for his students, and he wants us to learn and love the content as much as he does, so he does everything he can to help us work through it without worrying or stressing over it.”
Their nominations clearly demonstrated to the Mallory Wilson Center Student Advisory Board that Dr. Timmerman is a wonderful asset to Miami’s pre-health students and a very deserving recipient of this year’s Faculty/Staff Recognition Award.
Congratulations to Dr. Timmerman on earning this student honor, and the Mallory-Wilson Center thanks you for working to enhance the pre-health experience at Miami!!
