We're pleased to announced that Prof. LaVopa has been awarded a John S. Guggenheim Fellowship. Tony is the first member of our department to be awarded a Guggenheim and only the second person in NCSU's history. Please join us in congratulating Tony for receiving this prestigious and highly competitive fellowship. For more information, view the NCSU Article. We're also delighted to announce that Prof. LaVopa has been awarded a Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professorship at University of Edinburgh for the 2006-2007 academic year. The Leverhulme Trust has the status in England of the Mellon Foundation here, and British universities must compete to obtain one of these visiting professorships, of which there appear to be only one or two awarded per year. Congratulations Dr. LaVopa!
