Louis F. Geschwindner Jr., professor of architectural engineering, has been named Tau Beta Pi's 2001 National Outstanding Adviser. The award by the engineering honor society recognizes faculty who make important contributions to students and collegiate chapters. As a liaison between students and administrators, he was instrumental in getting a chapter e-mail address, procuring a computer and ultimately securing an office in the suite for engineering student organizations.

The Northern Finance Association (NFA) has selected a study by Tim Simin, assistant professor of finance in The Smeal College of Business Administration, as the "Best Investment Paper." He will be honored for the paper, "The Predictive Performance of Asset Pricing Models," during the upcoming NFA 2001 conference at St. Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The NFA is a volunteer organization managed by Canadian finance academics.
