K-State honors Katie Delph Miller and Chris Barlett as Faculty of the Week
Kansas State University recognized two outstanding faculty members at the Jan. 10 home basketball game: Katie Delph Miller, clinical associate professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine, and Chris Barlett, associate professor in the College of Arts and Sciences.
A board-certified specialist in equine internal medicine, Katie Delph Miller serves as a scientific leader in the College of Veterinary Medicine. She teaches and mentors a diverse group of future veterinarians through clinical skills courses, including core and elective equine medicine courses, as well as numerous clinical rotations.
Delph Miller is the co-director of the Equine Veterinary Practice Certificate in the college, as well as K-State's Guiding Wildcats into Future Equine Vets program, which are initiatives aimed at encouraging the recruitment and retention of veterinarians in the field of equine veterinary medicine. She also practices and publishes in equine-related areas, including equine neonatology, immunology, and infectious diseases of the respiratory, gastrointestinal and neurological systems.
Christopher Barlett arrived at K-State as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences in fall 2022 and was recently promoted to associate professor. He serves as the graduate program director for the department. Earning his doctorate in experimental social psychology at Iowa State University in 2012, Barlett received rigorous training in theory, research design and statistics — training that still drives his current teaching and research.
Barlett specializes in online and offline aggression prevention. He developed the only cyberbullying theory specific to the online world and the "You're Not Anonymous" cyberbullying intervention. He has published more than 100 journal articles, book chapters, and books focused on online and offline aggression, and he was recently named a Big 12 Fellow and a Fellow of the Society of Personality and Social Psychology. Barlett is a dynamic teacher who aims to integrate academic rigor with compassion for his undergraduate and graduate students.
The Faculty and Professional Staff of the Week recognitions are coordinated by Faculty Senate, the Office of the President and K-State Athletics. Recipients are selected by Faculty Senate caucuses, provided tickets to a home basketball game of their choice and honored during halftime as a small token of appreciation for their service to K-State.
