Congratulations to Dr. Christopher Gardner who was recently awarded the Stanford Alumni Association's Richard W. Lyman Award!
Gardner was recognized for contributing his scholarship and time to more than 30 alumni programs, including speaking engagements at Reunion Homecoming and alumni club events.
Established in 1983 in honor of President Emeritus Richard W. Lyman, the award recognizes one outstanding faculty member who goes beyond the expectations of university appointments and embodies the Stanford Alumni Association mission.
