Kulkarni Distinguished High School Teacher The Teacher Award Committee of the ASM Materials Education Founda- tion is proud to announce the selec- tion of Analice Sowell of the Memphis University Schools, Tenn., as recipient of the 2018 Kishor M. Kulkarni Distin- guished High School Teacher Award. The award, $2000 plus $500 toward travel to MS&T, was estab- lished in 2007 through a generous donation by Dr. Kishor M. Kulkarni, past trustee of ASM International, and his family to recognize the accomplishments of one high school sci- ence teacher who demonstrates a significant and sustained impact on pre-college age students. The award will be pre- sented on October 15 at the ASM Leadership Awards Lun- cheon at MS&T18 in Columbus, Ohio. Having joined the Memphis University School staff in 2007, Sowell has chaired the school’s science department since 2013. While chair, her department has added courses, including Honors Accelerated Materials Science. She also has formulated curricular pathways to success to guide stu- dents interested in careers in science and engineering. “Mrs. Sowell excels as a teacher and is an amazing leader. I wanted to start a club based on engineering and she helped make it a reality. Today our Engineering Competition Club is a huge success. She always inspires me to become a better person and work just a little bit harder.” J.
