UB to salute its faculty, staff authors
Reception to recognize publication of scholarship
By SUE WUETCHER
Reporter Editor
The university will salute more than 70 faculty and staff authors today at a reception being held from 3-5 p.m. in the Center for the Arts, North Campus.
“An Anthology of Recognition: The Second Annual Salute to UB Authors” is being hosted by President John B. Simpson; Provost Satish K. Tripathi, executive vice president for academic affairs; and Jorge José, vice president for research.
It will honor UB authors—and for the first time authors from Roswell Park Cancer Institute—who have published books since April of last year, or those who missed the submission deadline for last year’s event.
José notes that publication of faculty scholarship and creative work is an important component of UB’s academic enterprise.
“Book publication is a contribution to the wealth of knowledge that adds to our understanding of the world,” he says. “Books not only add to the public domain, but contribute in an important way to the academic stature of the University at Buffalo.”
The authors’ books represent a variety of disciplines, ranging from the humanities to the arts to the social, physical, biological and biomedical sciences, and include textbooks, volumes of poetry and works of nonfiction.
