Congratulations to Mark Lenker, the 2026 recipient of the Outstanding Faculty Scholarship Award ❤️🩶

Some scholarship helps us answer questions. Mark Lenker’s work asks us to think more deeply about the questions themselves. Mark was recognized for his outstanding contributions to library scholarship, including his book, The Human Relationship with Information, and his article, “Thoughts on Synthesizing Information: A Research Skill for Our Time?” in portal: Libraries and the Academy.

His recent work also includes a refereed LOEX 2025 conference paper on aligning teaching goals across library departments, media engagement on the importance of teaching information synthesis, and an invited keynote panel at the Heterodox Libraries Symposium.

Through his scholarship, Mark continues to connect information ethics, literacy, teaching, and meaning in ways that expand how we understand the role of libraries in learning and life.

We were honored to welcome State Senator Rochelle Nguyen, Nevada System of Higher Education Chancellor Matt McNair, Regent Heather Brown, Councilman Brian Knudsen, and Alexander Fuller for a visit to learn more about the vital role our practice plan, UNLV Health, plays as the clinical classroom for both medical students and residents.

Beyond education, they saw firsthand the exceptional care, compassion, and dedication our faculty clinicians bring to patients every day. Their commitment to serving our community while training the next generation of physicians is truly inspiring.
