This event will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the McNamara Alumni Center's Memorial Hall. All members of the University community are invited to this special ceremony and reception to honor 14 distinguished teachers for their contributions to undergraduate, graduate, and professional education. Award recipients are inducted into the Academy of Distinguished Teachers, in recognition of the significance of their teaching excellence. Recipients join their Academy colleagues from all four campuses to provide important leadership to the University community, serving as mentors, advisers, and spokespersons for the University's teaching mission. I hope you will join me for this important occasion, as we celebrate the University's teaching mission and recognize the contributions made by 14 of our colleagues.
