Congratulations to Dr. Tatsiana Karaliova of the College of Communication, and Dr. Jason Lantzer, of the University Honors Program. These two faculty members make up the spring 2023 winners of the Family Council Leadership Impact Award, nominated by Butler student families, and chosen by members of the Butler Family Council.

Dr. Tatsiana Karaliova’s nominator included the following: “Something I remember saying is that more than any other professor she has had, Dr. Karaliova cares about her students as both people and students. She starts every class by asking how the students are doing, what’s going well in their life, and finding out where they might need help or support. While she values learning and deep intellectual conversations, she adjusts assignments or class schedules if she finds students suffering mentally and/or physically. Their well-being is her number one priority.”

Dr. Jason Lantzer’s nominator included the following: “As a parent, I appreciated that he both knew she could use some down time and that he knew what her favorite show was. As a parent, it is a true gift to know that your child has a professor like Prof. Lantzer who truly sees them, cares about them, and goes the extra mile to help them be their best self.”
