Following undergraduate work at Columbia University and graduate work at Yale University, he quickly built a remarkable record of scholarship and service while teaching courses in geology, mineralogy, plate tectonics, GIS applications and a very popular first-year seminar. Woodwell now adds the Faculty Leadership Award to his many honors.<\/p>\n<p>He has been previously recognized with the Alumni Association Outstanding Young Faculty Member Award in 1991 and was twice nominated for the SCHEV Outstanding Faculty Award. In addition to being promoted to the rank of professor in 1998, he served as chair of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences for nearly a decade, and then as Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for the past 13 years.<\/p>\n<p>Woodwell\u2019s service on University committees is extensive, particularly on curricular matters, where he has contributed in multiple capacities over several decades. As one nominator wrote, \u201cWithout question, no member of the faculty has had a broader impact on the development and delivery of our academic program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Faculty Leadership Award was established in 2021 through an endowment created by the Board of Visitors. It recognizes a faculty member who supports the institution\u2019s strategic vision by leading a major institutional initiative or program, who has consistently and over time provided outstanding leadership, or who has provided engaged or effective leadership during a particular institutional transition or issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mary W.

Under his leadership, Heritage Society membership grew, and planned gift commitments increased by more than $100 million to benefit students, faculty, staff and facilities. During his time at UMW, he visited with more than 1,650 individuals across 42 states and also staffed multiple UMW Alumni Abroad trips.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond building relationships and growing gift commitments, Clarke personally invested in student success. His dedication to the University\u2019s mission \u2013 and to his colleagues and alumni \u2013 was evident through his efforts and service, from travelling across the country to fly back with an alumna to visit campus to driving an hour out of his way to bring something to a colleague.
