On the occasion of Dr. Jon Garthoff's promotion to Professor
In my view it is the most important work published thus far this century in ethical theory, helping to revitalize a discipline long distorted by a misguided (and frankly pseudo-scientific) empiricism.
Department - Electrical Engineering & Computer Science
On the occasion of Dr. Kai Sun's promotion to Professor
This is the autobiography of Dr. Daizhan Cheng, one of the top Chinese mathematicians in the field of control theory. From his real-life stories and moments of happiness and pains, I have learned a great example of what a real researcher should be.
Department - Modern Foreign Languages & Literatures
On the occasion of Dr. Katherine Bevins's promotion to Distinguished Lecturer.
I completed my PhD in 2020 in Instructional Design and Technology (IDT), and this book has been one of the foundational texts in my studies and research in IDT.
On the occasion of Dr. Krista Eileen Wiegand's promotion to Professor

Department - Mechanical, Aerospace, & Biomedical Engineering- UTSI
On the occasion of Dr. Lino Costa's promotion to Research Associate Professor
I became a materials scientist partially due to this seminal book. Not always easy to love at first sight, this book has a lot to offer the reader interested in the physics governing various materials phenomena. This book is a classic by all measures.
Department - Kinesiology, Recreation, and Sport Studies
On the occasion of Dr. Lyndsey M. Hornbuckle-Lampkin's tenure and promotion to Associate Professor.
This book and several additional resources developed by Kerry Ann Rockquemore (the author) through her National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity were pivotal during my tenure journey in terms of providing support for navigating the "highs" and very low "lows" of the process. I chose this book as I hope to promote awareness of these resources for other tenure- and/or promotion-seeking faculty, particularly those who are underrepresented in their departments, universities, or broader fields of study.
