UB Authors To Be Recognized at May 30 Reception

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- More than 150 University at Buffalo faculty and staff authors will be recognized at a reception to be held from 3-5 p.m. May 30 in the Center for the Arts on the UB North (Amherst) Campus.

The reception will be hosted by President John B. Simpson; Satish K. Tripathi, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs; and Jorge V. José, vice president for research. It will honor UB authors who have published books between Jan. 1, 2005, and May 1 of this year. Volumes that missed the April 30 submission deadline or were published afterward will be honored next year.

"Scholarship and creative activity at UB take many forms," said José. "Many UB faculty have published books; we want to recognize and honor them on this occasion," which he said he intends to make an annual event.

He called the response from faculty and staff to his request for publication information "truly overwhelming."

Nearly every major discipline at the university is represented, from architecture, engineering, social work and medicine, to social sciences, the humanities, education and law. The book titles run the gamut, from "Nutrition and Cancer Prevention" and "Introduction to Old Yiddish Literature" to "Quantum Statistical Theory of Superconductivity" and "The Woman in the Shaman's Body: Reclaiming the Feminine in Religion and Medicine."

José noted that authors have been asked to provide a copy of their books for display at the reception.
