Throughout his 20-year career at the USF, Dr. Chiriboga has devoted substantial time to teaching, research and scholarly activity.

Dr. Chiriboga has a long history of producing outstanding researchers in the field of aging, serving as a mentor for numerous postdoctoral fellows and students, many of whom are Koreans. He is the recipient of the GSA Minority Mentorship honor, which is given annually to an individual who has exemplified outstanding commitment and dedication to mentoring minority researchers in the field of aging. He was also the recipient of the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education's Hiram J. Friedsam Mentorship Award. Read more...

Dr. MacKinnon-Lewis joined USF in 2001 as a Full Professor and has contributed substantially to teaching, research and scholarly activity.

She was instrumental in the vision for development and implementation of the Graduate Certificate program in Children's Mental Health in the Department of Child and Family Studies (CFS). It was the first fully-online Certificate on the USF campus. She worked with the Provost's Office in initiating a policy for fee waivers for out-of-state students so that their tuition approximated that of in-state students. This was critical for the recruitment of non-Florida residents and was later extended to all Certificates on the campus. Read more...

Dr. Boateng's promotion is the direct result of her three-month stay for post-doctoral fellowship in May, 2018 at USF. As an early career faculty at the University of Ghana, Dr. Boateng won a BANGA-Africa grant to spend three months at the School of Social Work, USF, under the mentorship of Dr. Sondra Fogel to prepare manuscripts for publication in top-tier international journals. These publications and other lessons learned from the mentoring relationship were the basis for Dr. Boateng's assessment and subsequent promotion.
