Professor Maria Stanko of the Federated Department of Biological Sciences

	Dr. Maria Stanko - 2016 Outstanding Faculty Award Dr. Stanko received several recommendations for this award, including the following: "She has made an impact on my academic career since my first year at NJIT. Her friendly demeanor made me feel welcome, her caring attitude toward the students gave me the drive and enthusiasm for the material, and her competence as an instructor allowed me and my peers to excel."

I am sure that many students from the ECE department can agree that we will never forget Dr. Manzhura's caring lessons because she has empowered us to believe that we can do anything."
