one of 12 recipients for 2017 and the 20th educator from GMU to receive the award. Menasce has been an educator at the university for 25 years. In 2009, he received the Outstanding Research Faculty Award from the Volgenau School of Engineering. “What I try to do with my students is tell them they need to learn how to learn,” he said. “You need to keep learning after you graduate. That is what is going to allow you to be a successful professional.” Also receiving an Outstanding Faculty Award was Margaret Leary, a professor of information technology at the Alexandria campus and head of the cybersecurity program at Northern Virginia Community College. Leary has more than 30 years of experience in information technology, including a dozen in cybersecurity, and has served as a policy adviser for government agencies. Award recipients were selected from among 97 nominees from public and private institutions of higher education in the commonwealth. Award winners receive $5,000 grants underwritten by the Dominion Foundation. Recipients will be honored during a luncheon to be held in Richmond in February.
