TAMIU Celebrates Faculty Book Authors with Reception

The research and scholarly efforts of Texas A&M International University faculty members were celebrated by the Sue and Radcliffe Killam Library at its “TAMIU Faculty Book Author Recognition,” a 40th Anniversary Celebration event, held, Feb. 18 from 6-7:30 p.m. in the Student Center Rotunda.

The event was free of charge and open to the public.

It served to recognize the University’s faculty who have authored books published in 2008-2009 and will also launch a web-based TAMIU Faculty Authored Books (FAB) Collection online. The FAB Collection web pages will be fully functional with historical content from the University’s 40-year lifetime being added and featured.

Faculty honorees for the event were Dr. Stephen Duffy, Dr. Ned Koch, Dr. Paul Madlock and Dr. Kamal Parhizgar, Dr. Tagi Sagafi-nejad, Dr. Jerry D. Thompson and Dr. Judith Warner. Combined, the group has penned over 10 books during 2008-2009.
