UB president, provost recognize faculty authors at celebration

Faculty members and guests celebrated the more than 95 UB authors and editors who produced in excess of 90 volumes over the past two years as part of a ceremony held Thursday.

They join the long line of scholars and creative writers with nearly 750 books published since the university’s first official anthology and recognition event held in 2007. Now a biennial anthology, the book topics range across all the university disciplines.

President Satish K. Tripathi and Provost Charles Zukoski congratulated the authors and noted that the published scholarship “is in many ways the tangible expression of our mission as a major research university — to create and disseminate knowledge that has a lasting impact on the public good.”

Venu Govidaraju, vice president for research and economic development, hosted the event, welcoming the new authors, congratulating the serial authors and encouraging all to continue the hard work of writing and publishing.
