Jovanovich will receive the award during a ceremony on April 27, 2021.
The purpose of the Engineering Faculty Professionalism Award is to highlight enthusiastic professional engineers who are among faculty at universities in Louisiana. The goal of the annual award is to encourage other engineering faculty and students to become professional engineers.
Jovanovich has been a faculty member at UNO for 40 years.
He was first approached in 1980 to teach an electrical engineering class for one semester as an adjunct professor. That was also the year that the School of Engineering became the College of Engineering under the direction of founding dean of engineering Fritz-Egbert Dohse.
University of New Orleans alumna Kd Amond, who earned an MFA in film production in 2012, has released her first feature film, “Five Women in the End.” The dark comedy, which Amond directed, co-wrote and co-produced, is now showing on Amazon Prime.
In a sign of the quickly-evolving film industry it was shot completely on an iPhone.
The movie premiered at the 2019 Nashville Film Festival and garnered positive reviews. It also received a standing ovation from the audience after the festival showing.
“The most rewarding part to me, as a director, is seeing actors bringing my words to life,” said Amond, who lives in Nashville. “Fulfilling on a larger scale is when you actually see it at a theater on the big screen with an audience and people are laughing and clapping and having reactions to the materials. That’s nice.”
