Duncombe Doctoral Educator award fund

NASPAA has created the Duncombe Doctoral Educator award in memory of longtime Syracuse University public administration professor William Duncombe, who passed away last May. The award will annually recognize a faculty member at a NASPAA school who has made significant contributions to doctoral education, beginning this year. Bill earned an MPA and PhD at Syracuse's Maxwell School, where he taught for 22 years. Bill was beloved for his teaching and mentorship of doctoral students. His teaching was recognized with multiple awards from the university and from NASPAA. He was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration. In memory of Bill's generous and patient dedication to students' education, and appreciation of his caring and good humored nature, several of his friends and former colleagues initiated the award to honor Bill's amazing contributions as a doctoral educator. The award has been endorsed by his family. We encourage those who knew Bill to make a contribution in order to fund a small annual award. Any amount is welcome and appreciated.
