WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — A Midwestern State University professor received an award from the Texas Tech Chancellor's Council on Friday, March 28. Suzanne Lindt, an MSU professor of undergraduate education, received the 2024 Chancellor's Council Distinguished Research Award, which was presented to her by TTU System Chancellor Tedd L. Mitchell and MSU President Stacia Haynie. 'Chemistry Magic Show' to benefit local youth interested in STEM Lindt has been focused on making a difference in the public education system since before she was a professor, starting in the public school system. She joined MSU in 2010 and eventually was named chair of the Department of Undergraduate Education. She has worked with a fellow MSU professor, Stacia Miller, to publish a textbook on motivating students to move to help focus on learning. 'My early research on motivation has evolved from theoretical to practical, allowing me to explore more effective ways to engage learners in the classroom,' Lindt said. 'I am deeply honored that my research has been recognized by MSU and the Texas Tech System, underscoring its significance in advancing public school education.' The research award is one of only two presented annually at each TTU System component institution through the Chancellor's Council Distinguished Teaching and Research Awards, which are the most prestigious awards granted to faculty throughout the TTU System. 'These awards recognize the best of the best, and I am extremely honored to recognize our world-class faculty across the Texas Tech University System,' said Tedd L. Mitchell, M.D., chancellor of the TTU System. 'Our award recipients have ascended to the top of their areas of study and are leading experts at providing students with an unrivaled educational experience. I congratulate each of our esteemed faculty receiving this year's teaching and research awards.' In addition to the honor, Lindt and the other recipient will receive a $5,000 stipend and an engraved medallion. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
