Charles Hyde, an Old Dominion University physics professor and Eminent Scholar, will receive a 2016 Outstanding Faculty Award next month from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV).
"I am thrilled to win this award," said Hyde, who is Old Dominion's 29th SCHEV honoree and the second physicist in a row, following Gail Dodge last year. "I would especially like to thank my colleagues and students in the physics department who have made ODU such a great place to work for the past 20 years."
Hyde is among 13 faculty members from throughout the state who will be honored Feb. 16 at a luncheon at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. Each award consists of an engraved plaque and $5,000 underwritten by the Dominion Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Dominion Resources. Dominion is the parent company of Dominion Virginia Power.
