On June 3, 2019, at its annual Public Service Recognition Week Banquet, the Centex Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) presented its prestigious Educator of the Year Award to Texas State’s Dr. Nandhini Rangarajan. Dr. Rangarajan received her Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Albany in 2005 and joined Texas State’s faculty the following fall. She is the co-author of A Playbook for Research Methods: Integrating Conceptual Frameworks and Project Management (with Patricia Shields), and her articles have appeared in a variety of journals including the Journal of Public Affairs Education, Public Performance and Management Review, and the Review of Public Personnel Administration. She was promoted to the rank of associate professor in 2013 and since 2017 has directed the department’s MPA Program.
Over 100 students, administrators and faculty attended this year’s dinner which was held at the Austin Club.
