In honor of the former UCSB Dean of Student Residents, Margaret T. Getman, and the former Director of Admissions, William J. Villa, these annual awards recognize university staff, faculty, and departments that have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the general growth and development of students and the quality of student life.

Professor Tettegah does a lot of work mentoring Black students on various levels. The mentorship she provides with research assistantships for undergraduates in the Center for Black Studies Research is key in exposing undergraduates to research.

Congratulations, Professor Tettegah!
