As assistant director of the Stanford Humanities Center, Susan Sebbard was perhaps caught a little more off guard than most when she was notified that she will be a co-recipient of the 2005 Marshall O'Neill Award. She thought that the honor, a symbol of faculty appreciation for outstanding contributions to the university's research mission, typically went to research staff in one of the science departments.
