DENVER - The University of Colorado today added four names to its roster of Distinguished Professors, the loftiest honor for faculty at the system’s four campuses.

The designation recognizes faculty members who demonstrate exemplary performance in research or creative work, a record of excellence in classroom teaching and supervision of individual learning, and outstanding service to the profession, the university and its affiliates.

CU President Bruce D. Benson reviewed nominations from CU’s campuses; with the recommendation of a committee of Distinguished Professors, he forwarded the candidates’ names to the Board of Regents. Today during its meeting at the University of Colorado Boulder, the board voted in favor of the nominees.
