Notables

Asteroid named for former professor

Some 70 million miles from Earth, stretched between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, an asteroid will bear the name of Arne Slettebak, a former professor of astronomy who died in 1999.

The 5-mile-wide asteroid was first spotted in 1981 by Edward Bowell, a friend and colleague of Slettebak's who worked at the Anderson Mesa Station of Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz. The International Astronomical Union recently christened the asteroid 9001 Slettebak at Bowell's request.

Slettebak spent 16 of his 50 years of service to the University as chair of the astronomy department.

Health services award

Ted Grace, director of student health services, was recently awarded the E. Dean Lovett Award from the American College Health Association (ACHA) for his contributions to the development of college health service programs.

During his eight years as director, Grace has overseen improved patient access at the health center through extended same-day service, upgraded clinical protocols and standards of care, established a Student Wellness Center, introduced mid-level providers and support staff, promoted students into various governance functions, maintained Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accreditation, and advanced teaching relationships through an administrative merger with Health Sciences.

Grace also is being honored this year with an ACHA Fellowship. Fellowships recognize ACHA members who have given outstanding service to the association, and have demonstrated superior professional stature and performance in the college health field.
