Let's Celebrate
Congratulations to all of our faculty for managing to keep up our high standards in teaching and advising under unusual and constantly changing circumstances. Just surviving this fall is enough reason to celebrate! But we would also like to extend extra special congratulations to the 17 individual faculty named below for their impressive achievements in this memorable year.
