“When I read the letter saying I won the award I was thrilled, honored, humbled and grateful all at once. The award speaks to a lifetime of achievement and so I could only be thrilled to have been chosen,” Loris said in a statement. “Being a professor, a teacher, is certainly much of who I am and what I have dedicated my life to, which makes the award all the more special. But it is also very humbling, because I can only hope that some of the students I have taught over the past years have indeed been inspired, excited and transformed by their learning with me.”
Loris will be honored at a reception in the Edgerton Center lobby from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19. All are welcome to come by and congratulate her.
