Professor and Deputy Director Dennis Zaritsky and Associate Director Jeff Kingsley have been honored by UA as a 2017 Galileo Circle Fellow and a 2017 Galileo Circle Copernicus Awardee, respectively. "The Galileo Circle Fellows Award is one of the highest honors the College of Science can bestow on its tenure-track faculty. Galileo Circle Fellows are the epitome of the academic scholar, with a deep understanding over a broad range of science, a willingness to think in a truly interdisciplinary way, and an ability to inspire colleagues and students alike." "The Copernicus Award is one of the highest honors the College of Science can bestow on its non-tenure eligible faculty, appointed personnel or classified staff. The awardees' extraordinary accomplishments significantly advance the mission of their department and the knowledge base of their discipline." Congratulations, Dennis and Jeff.
