WILLIAMS HELPS STUDENTS ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS

This year, UH has once again recognized his commitment, honoring him with the George Magner Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising. This is the second time Williams, director of undergraduate affairs and academic advising and visiting assistant professor of biology and biochemistry, received the award — the first time was in 1997.

One alumnus, who immigrated to the United States in 2000 at the age of 17, wrote in a letter of support how Williams assisted him in applying for graduate fellowships.

“The result was a dream that came true for me. This dream is a string of national awards that included a quarter-million dollar medical school scholarship and a one-year research fellowship at the National Institutes of Health,” the alumnus wrote.
