It gives us great pleasure to announce that Prof. Gilberto Rosas has received a Conrad Humanities Scholar award from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The Conrad recognizes mid-career scholars at Illinois with the highest potential for continued achievement in humanities fields. The Conrad Humanities Scholar awards are funded by a gift from the late Arlys Conrad, whose estate gift shared by the College of LAS and the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences is intended to assist and retain promising mid-career faculty.
