>       Dear Professor Abani,
>       It is my pleasure to inform you that you have
>       been chosen as this year's Honors Program
>       Professor of the Year for your Honors discussion
>       section of CRWT 97H: Freshman Honors Project:
>       Poetry.
>       Each year we invite students to nominate Honors
>       faculty for the University Honors Program
>       Professor of the Year.  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:
>       http://honors.ucr.edu/prof_of_year.html
>       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.
>       If you cannot attend one of the proposed dates,
>       perhaps we can find another time that would work
>       for you.
>       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.
>       Thank you, and congratulations.
>       Best,
