Maria Soliman, director of grant accounting in University of Iowa Finance and Operations, has received the Society of Research Administrators International (SRAI) Distinguished Faculty designation, an honor given to only about 40 individuals worldwide. This recognition highlights Soliman's exceptional contributions to the field of research administration. Soliman was selected by a committee of research administrator peers.

SRAI Distinguished Faculty may be called upon as expert consultants and speakers to present and review professional workshops, continuing education courses, and professional development programs on behalf of the society.

 “I feel extremely honored to be chosen for this designation,” says Soliman. “It's a privilege to be a part of such an esteemed group of professionals.”

Soliman will be formally recognized at the SRAI Annual Meeting in October in Chicago.
