This award recognizes outstanding faculty who participate in the Honors Program through teaching and mentoring. Students may nominate professors with whom they've taken an Honors course or worked with for undergraduate research. You can read more about the award on our website: <a href="http://honors.ucr.edu/prof_of_year.html"></a><a href="http://honors.ucr.edu/prof_of_year.html">http://honors.ucr.edu/prof_of_year.html</a></span><br><span></span><br><span>We would like to invite you to attend a small ceremony during our Wednesday muffin morning breakfast on either Wednesday, June 3, or perhaps Wednesday, May 27. Would you be available to attend for about 15 minutes on either date? We thought 9:30am might work best, but we could hold the ceremony anytime 9am-12pm, so whatever would work best for your schedule. We will present you with a plaque and unveil our perpetual plaque that is displayed in the Honors Office.</span><br><span></span><br><span>If you cannot attend one of the proposed dates, perhaps we can find another time that would work for you.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Please just let me know if sometime on the morning of June 4 might work for your schedule or if you would prefer another time. One last option would be to do the presentation at the beginning of our honors course on Wednesday, June 4 at 4:10pm.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Thank you, and congratulations.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Best,</span><br><span>Deanna Garrett</span><br><span>Lower Division Coordinator</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>...................................................................</span><br><span>Deanna Garrett, Lower Division Coordinator</span><br><span>University Honors Program</span><br><span>2316 Olmsted Hall</span><br><span>Riverside, CA 92521</span><br><span>Phone: 951.827.5323</span><br><span>Fax: 951.827.5320</span><br><span><a href="http://www.honors.ucr.edu">www.honors.ucr.edu</a></span><br><span>...................................................................</span><br><span></span><br></div></blockquote></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
