2009 Celebration of Promotion and Tenure Event

On September 29, 2009, the library hosted the fourth annual celebration of the attainment of promotion and tenure by members of the UNCG faculty. As part of this celebration each of the 33 honorees were invited to select a favorite book and share the personal meaning or reason for choosing it. In each book a commemorative bookplate honoring their achievement is placed and a display of these books can be seen on the first floor of the Jackson Library. Congratulations to the many that have achieved tenure at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro: read more about them here.
