Speas wins Distinguished Academic Outreach Award

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.
