| November 1998 UM's Sondag named 1998 CASE
Her win brings the coveted CASE award back to UM for the first time since Regents Professor Paul Lauren won it in 1991. Sondag was chosen from a field of five Montana nominees in recognition of her exceptional service to her profession as a health educator, researcher and participant on a range of curricular and policy-making committees in the state and region. Sondag joined the UM faculty in 1993, hired into a department where health was considered extremely important but was given only "lip service," said Kathleen Miller, former associate dean of the School of Education. At state and regional levels, Sondag is considered one of the elite health educators in Montana. She represented health education at the Health Enhancement Summit Conference in 1996, a conference that occurs every five years and sets standards for state agencies and organizations concerning the health needs of young children and adolescents. She was one of four authors of "Health Enhancement: Montana and National Standards," which now serves as the guiding document for all Montana K-12 school curriculum development. "I consider Annie as one of our health education leaders in Montana," said Spencer Sartorius, administrator of the Health Enhancement and Safety Division at the state's Office of Public Instruction. She is a credit to her department, UM, the state, the region and the profession, he said. CASE is an international association of colleges, universities and independent elementary and secondary schools that focuses on alumni relations, communications and fund raising. CASE established the Professors of the Year program in 1981 and administers it with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and various higher education associations. This year the foundation announced winners in 48 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
