2000 Lyle E. Gibson Distinguished Teachers Selected by Campus Community
Professors David Karber and Richard Malamud are the 2000 recipients of CSU Dominguez Hills' Lyle E. Gibson Distinguished Teacher Award, named in honor of the University's late founding vice president of Academic Affairs. The two received their awards upon the recommendation of the campus' Leaves and Honors Committee. Students, faculty and staff nominate Lyle E. Gibson honorees.
David
J. Karber, professor of public administration, (now serving as interim associate
vice president for academic planning and resource management) joined the CSU
Dominguez Hills staff in 1973, initially serving as an academic dean. Shortly
thereafter, he was appointed vice president of administration, a post he left
in 1990 to return to his first love, teaching.
"As I teach," says Karber, "I observe my students and try to develop a mentor/mentee relationship with those students I sense need special encouragement to develop their full potential. I enjoy my classes and take special pride in seeing my students/mentees develop their full potential and achieve the high goals they have set for themselves."
Karber pioneered the development of the MBA Online at Dominguez Hills, a degree delivered via the Internet. He served as the coordinator of the program for two years, and currently teaches in the program.
In addition to his teaching duties, Karber is actively involved in several professional associations and community service programs, including serving as board member of the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration, past president and board member of the Carson Coordinating Council, board member of the Southern California Education Foundation and advisory board member for World Impact, Los Angeles. He also sings in a barbershop quartet called "The Music Factory."
Karber earned his undergraduate degree from California State University, Fresno and his master's and doctoral degrees from Indiana University.
Richard
B. Malamud, professor of accounting and law, has been teaching in the School
of Management, Department of Accounting and Law since 1990. He teaches courses
in accounting and business communications.
Very active on campus, Malamud is a member of the Academic Senate. He also serves on the School of Management RTP Committee and on the Accounting & Law Post Tenure Review Committee.
Malamud is a certified public accountant and a lawyer but stopped his work in both fields 10 years ago to focus on teaching. He says that he enjoys helping students to learn and understand confusing concepts. He appreciates the variety of students he has the opportunity to work with at CSUDH: part-time and full-time students, working and non-working students and students of all ages.
Malamud's articles regularly appear in such publications as The Monthly Digest of Tax Articles, Law Review and Tax Notes.
Malamud received his undergraduate degree from UCLA and earned his juris doctorate from Loyola University School of Law. He received his master's of law degree from New York University School of Law.
