Phillip and Teri Oppenheimer

Dean Phillip Oppenheimer and his wife, Teri, have been a part of the Pacific family since 1997. Dean Oppenheimer is known to put students at the center of his work, always focusing on what is good for the students, the profession and the University. The Oppenheimers established this award in 2013 to support student travel for the purpose of presenting student research and promoting the leadership that is a hallmark of the Pacific experience. The award is given to a first or second- year student, as a first or second author, who is presenting research (poster or podium) at a national meeting.
