The Michael R. McGie Service Award

Michael R. McGie received his BA in Chemistry in 1957 from Chico State College. By the fall of 1966 he had earned a Ph.D. in physics from UC Davis. He chose to return to Chico State to give back to the community of his origins. While on the faculty for 32 years, Mike always demonstrated a strong commitment to the needs of students. His former students often recall a kind or encouraging word at a critical moment in their college experience. Not only did he give of himself for his students, he served the department for 10 years as Chair and was very active in campus-wide governance. Mike's service to others represents the best of the teaching profession and this award is intended to encourage this commitment in our students.
