Human Nutrition Endowed Professor. The endowed chair is part of a recent
permanent endowment from Kraft Foods North America to the Division

has been to define the role of fiber and other fermentable carbohydrates
on gastrointestinal tract physiology and health.

Information Technologies and Educational Services received recognition from the Association
for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on University
and College Computing Services for excellence in the development of
useful and attractive publications. The CITES Security Web Site received
an Overall Award in the category of “Electronic How-to Guides” and
the entry, “(CITES) Your IT Connection: A Campaign to Introduce
Incoming Students to IT Services at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign;

continuing education
Lynn Smith, graphic designer for the marketing department at the UI
Office of Continuing Education, received a Continuing Education Support
Specialist Award from the University Continuing Education Association
for her excellent contribution to the field of continuing education.
The UCEA Mid-America Region Celebration of Excellence program recognized
Smith’s contributions in helping create and improve the Web site
and brand identity for Continuing Education and its divisions, which
are now clearly identifiable as divisions of OCE rather than separate
units. In addition, Smith designed improved interpretive signs and
displays at Allerton Park that provide educational information and
enhance visitors’ experiences.
