Purdue University Northwest Professor Chosen for Educator Award

Purdue University Northwest has announced Associate Professor John Durocher is the 2021 recipient of the ADInstruments Macknight Innovative Educator Award by the American Physiological Society. He was recently named to a Nils K. Nelson Endowed Professorship.

“Personally, it’s a great honor,” says Durocher. “For the Health Studies program and our PNW students it will be transformational. This equipment will improve their learning experience by giving them hands-on training with equipment from a company that has set the industry standard for physiological data collection and analysis.”

Durocher holds an A.A.S., bachelor’s and Ph.D. from Michigan Technological University and a master’s degree from Northern Michigan University.
