Hillyer Voorhees and his election as an Education Section Fellow of the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science.
  Mr. Voorhees is an associate professor of earth science and geology

Aurora, Illinois. He is being honored for his contributions as an 
educator and for his role in creating Geo2YC, a national organization 
for geoscience faculty at two-year colleges. Geo2YC, a division of the 
National Association of Geoscience Teachers, brings professors from 
two-year institutions together for networking, support, and research 
into geoscience education.
  I would like to thank Mr. Voorhees for his commitment to science and 
quality education in our community.
