The Board of Curators, at their meeting on October 5, 2007, named our colleague, Kerby Miller, Curators’ Professor of History. The appointment takes effect in January 2008. The Curators' Professorship is awarded to the UM system's most successful and prominent scholars, as identified by their departments and their peers in the field. These are prestigious positions, and only outstanding scholars with established reputations are considered for appointment.
The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation has awarded Professor Smith a 2007 Guggenheim Fellowship for his work on Alhacen on refraction. Guggenheim Fellowships are grants to selected individuals that help provide Fellows with blocks of time in which they can work with as much creative freedom as possible. Fellows are appointed on the basis of distinguished achievement in the past and exceptional promise for future accomplishment. What distinguishes the Guggenheim Fellowship program from all others is the wide range in interest, age, geography, and institution of those it selects as it considers applications in 78 different fields, from the natural sciences to the creative arts. Congratulations, Professor Smith!
