The citation for Pat's nomination read: “Pat leads by example, showing students what is possible, giving them the confidence to persist and never say die when dealing with a really challenging problem. He goes above and beyond the normal expectations to assist staff and foster student learning in this innovative and committed manner.” “For me personally, he is a role model and the benchmark by which I judge excellence. Additionally, he is an outstanding educator due to his patience, modesty and open-mindedness. He is as essential to the physics department as electricity and I cannot think of someone more deserving of the President’s Award for Excellence.”
