It is my pleasure to announce that both of the candidates presented by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese to the Dean’s Senior Scholars Award have been selected to receive the award for 2008. Vineeta Singh and Dennis Stinchcomb are the recipients of this important award. Singh and Stinchcomb were unanimously selected. There were a total of six awards for all ARHU units. I quote from Dean Harris letter: “The selection committee was impressed by your extraordinary record of academic performance and strong letters of recommendation.” Please join me in congratulating Vineeta and Dennis.
Also thanks to Prof. Demaría, Cypess, Remson and Ana Patricia Rodríguez for their support and for writing the letters of recommendations. Felicidades.
