About the Program

In celebration of the bond between the written word and the achievement of scholars, the UCSC Libraries and the Jack Baskin School of Engineering are proud to sponsor the Honored Faculty, Honored Books Program. This new joint initiative recognizes the achievements of faculty in the school who have attained tenure and/or promotion. The occasion is marked by the celebration of both the scholar and a book they select as having most influenced them as a scientist and educator. The faculty and their selected books are celebrated with a gala reception held in the Science Library. The honored book is added to the library collection and inscribed with a personalized bookplate in their honor. This commemorative web site showcases the titles that the faculty selected along with their description of the significance of the book to their lives and careers.
