Sylvia Dresser and Gus Pausz are recipients of Awards from the Association of Experiential Education (A.E.E.) for their work in the field of Experiential Education. Both of the recipients have been actively involved with the production of The Ripple Effect Newsletter since the first edition was mailed out ten years ago. When you look up the definition of servant leaders, both of their names are listed inWebster's Dictionary. Sylvia, a former school librarian, won one of the AEE Servant Leader Awards for 2000. She has been actively involved with AEE at the regional level for the last seven years, serving most recently as the Chairperson of the Heartland Region Council. She served on the planning committee for the 1995 International Conference, and is now a member of the International Board. She currently works as a consultant for Project Adventure. Gus Pausz was awarded the Experiential Educator of the Year award for 2000 from the Association. His 9 week Experiential Education program for 6th, 7th and 8th graders at McCracken Middle School serves as a model in the State of Illinois. He has served as the Co-Chairperson of the TEAM Conference Planning Committee for the last three years, and served on the planning committee for the 1995 International AEE Conference. Congratulations for this well deserved recognition from their peers in the field of Experiential Education. They are perfect examples of the impact one person can make through a ripple effect. |
