| About
the Program
In celebration of the bond between the written word and the achievement
of scholars, the UCSC Libraries, the Jack Baskin School of Engineering,
and the Division of Physical and Biological Sciences are proud to
sponsor the third annual Honored Faculty, Honored Books Program.
This joint initiative recognizes the achievements of faculty in
engineering and the natural sciences 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 & Engineering
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.
