A good book – News Bureau

A good book Promoted and newly tenured faculty members were honored Nov. 28 with a reception and book plating in the Grand Gallery of Grainger Engineering Library. Of the 102 faculty members who received promotion or tenure, 76 selected books – either extant volumes or new additions to the collection – to be plated in their honor. Most faculty members chose books that were particularly important to their personal and professional development. The selected volumes are on display – along with faculty members’ explanations for selecting them – in the central corridor of the Main Library through Jan. 31.
