Faculty ovations are a regular series that allows us to applaud our faculty for their achievements in the College of Arts and Humanities at Fresno State. Their hard work and accomplishments directly impact our students, college, university, and the wider community.
We ask that you join us in giving a round of applause to:
Dr. Maria S. Briggs – Okunev for her articles in Classical Singer Magazine “#MeToo and Opera” and “All I Want for Christmas is… an Opera Career!“

Dr. Vadim Keyser on his award from the CSU + Adobe Initiative for his work on work on scientific visualization–visualizing models and methods. He will be using the award to explore visualization in science through new technology mediums.
