UNM Professor Receives National Honors

William Kane, a professor of health education at the UNM College of Education, is the recipient of two recent honors. In December the American Association for Health Education recognized Kane with a national scholarship in his name. The William Kane Scholarship will be awarded annually to an outstanding undergraduate student majoring in health education. The American College of Preventive Medicine also honored Kane for outstanding leadership. A proclamation cited Kane's restoration and development of a solid financial status for the organization, his leadership in launching the American Journal of Preventive Medicine and his development of the College's continuing education program. Kane has been on faculty at UNM since 1991.
