Kansas University Chancellor Robert Hemenway on Sunday received recognition from the American Council on Education.

Hemenway received the 2009 Council of Fellows/ Fidelity Investments Mentor’s Award. He has served as a role model for nine ACE fellows since 1991, according to a release.

The ACE Fellows Program is designed to identify and prepare faculty and staff members for senior administrative positions.

To be eligible for the Council of Fellows/Fidelity Investments Mentor’s Award, a nominee must have been a president or chancellor of an ACE member institution and have mentored four or more ACE fellows.
