the award, in 2002.

in 1989 and is chair of the education department. Shuman has served on 
the executive board of the New York State Association for Teacher Educators, 
including two terms as president, and he has worked with area public schools 
and colleges to develop masters-level programs in educational leadership 
for the region.
