Not done doesn't seem WP:DUE. My usual rule of thumb for awards is either the award having its own Wikipedia page, or independent coverage of the award being granted to this particular person. Can you find sources like that? Rusalkii (talk) 21:53, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, article is about Balleisen, not Duke or even the program Balleisen runs, and I don't see why this particular piece of his writing should be highlighted. As above, the Duke PResidential Team Award may make sense to include if there's independent coverage (i.e. not by the university or anyone affiliated with the program).

Specific text to be added or removed: In a 2024 interview with Inside Higher Ed’s Susan Greenberg, Balleisen explained how scientific collaboration among disciplines can not only drive student engagement but also address global problems.
