Dean Bev Durgan of the Minnesota Extension Service has presented William Angell (Housing Studies) with a dean's award as a distinguished extension campus-based faculty member. Angell received the award for his exemplary work in the field of indoor air quality.

"Bill’s distinguished work in the field of indoor air quality personifies Extension’s mission to connect community needs with University resources. During the past 17 years, he has delivered more than 750 courses to over 10,000 participants in 22 states and eight Indian nations while creating a consortium of four institutions of higher education that provide interdisciplinary training on ways to measure and mitigate radon -- a health risk in households that kills approximately 22,000 Americans each year."
