Dean VandenBosch announces 2020 CALS Awards winners and professorship recipients
Last week at the All College virtual meeting, Dean Kate VandenBosch announced the recipients of the 2020 CALS Awards as well as recently named professorships. Though the in-person event planned for May 6 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dean VandenBosch hopes to be able to celebrate in other ways once we are able to return to campus.
In the meantime, bios of the CALS Awards recipients will be featured on social media and in eCALS in the coming weeks. Congratulations to the awardees!
