Dean Anaya Named Distinguished Professor

With approval Sept. 14 by the Board of Regents, Dean S. James Anaya was one of seven newly designated distinguished professors at the University of Colorado.

Distinguished professors are faculty members who demonstrate exemplary performance in research or creative work, a record of excellence in classroom teaching and supervision of individual learning, and outstanding service to the profession, the university and its affiliates.
