Irene Fonseca Receives Highest Faculty Distinction at Carnegie Mellon
 |
“ On April 29, I was deeply honored to be named one of five new CMU University Professors. My nomination and subsequent election to University Professor is without a doubt one of the greatest professional highlights of my nearly three decade-long career at CMU. I thank my fellow University Professors for bestowing such recognition upon me and my life’s work. This is a truly remarkable group of scholars and academics, each of whom has left an indelible mark on the university through their research, teaching, and service. |
As I join the ranks of University Professors, I look forward to working with many of my colleagues, as well as the rest of the CMU community, to continue to further the mission and impact the university has around the world and across disciplines. The CMU Portugal Program is just such an endeavor, and I’d be remiss in not taking this opportunity to congratulate fellow CMU Portugal faculty member Professor Manuela Veloso, the Herbert A. Simon Professor of Computer Science, who was also just named University Professor. ” Irene Fonseca statement about the title of University Professor, the highest distinction awarded at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)
