Elizabeth Bernhardt, Director of the Language Center and Professor of German Studies, was named the Warren Shelden University Fellow in Undergraduate Education, part of the Bass program. Bass University Fellows are chosen based on their commitment to undergraduate education. Faculty from all seven schools, as well as senior fellows in centers and institutes, are eligible. The Bass Program sponsors an annual event for University Fellows and donors. Appointments are for five-year terms and are made by the provost on the recommendation of the vice provost for undergraduate education. Stanford will continue to name eight University Fellows each fall through 2005, when a full complement of 40 will be reached.

Monica Brillantes, Program Manager of the Language Center, received the Dean's Award of Merit from the School of Humanities and Sciences in Spring 2014. Monica has been the manager of the Language Center since 2006. She handles everything from budget management and human resources for more than 60 instructors, to compiling the Annual Report of the Language Center. She also serves as the primary liaison with the H&S Dean's Office, Accounts Payable, University Procurement and other university offices. Her capacity for diplomacy, ability to maintain composure regardless of the circumstances, efficiency, dedication, and unwavering cheer are recognized and appreciated by all who work with her.
