Bob DeMott to Keynote Honors Convocation

Distinguished Professor of English Bob DeMott will keynote this year's Honors Convocation at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 25 in Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium.

The Honors Convocation, held annually since 1978, celebrates student scholars and recognizes the generosity of those who donate to student scholarships. For the 1999 academic year, about 4,760 students will receive over $8 million in awards.

Demott, who received his Ph.D. at Kent State University in 1969, is the recipient of such awards as University Professor and Outstanding Graduate Professor. Demott is the former director of the English Department's Honors Tutorial Program and earlier this year was a co-winner of the Honors Tutorial College's Outstanding Tutor Award.
