Ivan Deutsch selected as Regents' Professor!

Congratulations to Professor Ivan Deutsch, who was selected as one of the three Regents' Professors in the College of Arts & Sciences.

Regents' Professor is a special title bestowed on selected senior faculty members who, in the judgment of the Dean and on the advice of a faculty selection committee, merit recognition of their accomplishments as teachers, scholars and leaders, both in University affairs and in their national or international professional communities.

From the Dean's letter: "The committee was greatly impressed with the numerous contributions you have made over the years to your department, to the University and to your discipline. Since this award is intended to recognize our most outstanding faculty, your selection for this prestigious position signifies the very high regard the College has for your many accomplishments."

Dr. Deutsch's active term is 2015-2018. In addition to the title of Regents' Professor, the appointment also carries a stipend. Dr. Deutsch retains the title for the remainder of his career at UNM.
