John McCarthy reports:
Peggy Speas is this year's recipient of the Distinguished Academic Outreach Award. "The Distinguished Academic Outreach Awards, established in 1997, recognize and encourage superlative individual achievement in outreach as an incentive to further community engagement on the part of the academic enterprise.
Recipients receive a cash award."
She will receive the award (the plaque, not a wad of cash) at the UMass
Honors Dinner on Founder's Day, Friday, April 29.
