Proffit as co-recipients of the Louise Ada Jarabak Memorial Teachers and Research Award for 2000. The Jarabak Award, established in 1983 by Dr Joseph Jarabak in honor of his late wife, recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to orthodontic teaching and research. Drs Baldwin and Proffit will be recognized during the opening ceremonies of the 100th AAO Annual Session, the 5th International Orthodontic Congress, and the 2nd meeting of the World Federation of Orthodontists.

He also has a master’s degree in physics from Yale University. In addition to maintaining a private practice until 1995, Dr Baldwin has been a part-time faculty member at
Indiana University’s School of Dentistry since 1956. Baldwin, one of the first people to develop the segmented arch technique for tooth movement, is acknowledged as one of the top authorities on the mechanical aspects of orthodontics. Dr Baldwin is a diplomate of The American Board of Orthodontics. He is also a past president of the Indiana Association of Orthodontists, the Midwestern component of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontists, and the National Body of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontists.
