Honoring Faculty: Book Plates to Celebrate Faculty Promotions/Tenure
Beginning with the 2002 academic year, Livingston Lord Library initiated a program to honor faculty members who received tenure and/or promotion at Minnesota State University Moorhead. This program invites the newly tenured and/or promoted faculty member to choose a book for the MSUM Library collection, and to have a bookplate placed in the book to commemorate each faculty member's achievement. Faculty are encouraged to select titles that represent something meaningful to them, either professionally or personally. For example, they might select a book that helped shape their thinking about a particular topic, inspired them to achieve success, a book they authored or co-authored, or a children's book that is special to them. Additionally, faculty are asked to provide a short statement of why they chose the particular book.
Listed below are the 2002 through the 2009 honorees along with their book selections and statements.
