(AgapePress) - A conservative, pro-life college professor and bioethicist has won a national award that some say is the equivalent of the Nobel Prize. Former Goodwin College Science Department chairman Lawrence Roberge was recently named the "2005 Connecticut Professor of the Year" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education.

Roberge developed the science program at Goodwin by organizing the construction of science labs and setting up the entire curriculum for chemistry, anatomy and physiology, microbiology and human biology. The professor, a lifelong Catholic and a pro-life advocate, says he was "stunned but pleasantly surprised" to be named "Professor of the Year" for 2005 in his state. Story
