Spring 2013 Butine Awards
The Committee on Teaching and Scholarship (TAS) has determined the award recipients of the 2012-2013 Butine Faculty Development Fund spring cycle, according to committee chair Aziz Inan, engineering. Due to the large number of proposals received and the limited amount of funds available, the committee was unable to fund all qualified proposals. In addition to considering the goals and the quality of each proposal received, the TAS committee had to use other factors in their decisions, including the applicant’s academic rank, frequency of Butine awards received, and distribution of funds among different schools and disciplines. This spring’s Butine Award recipients are:
- Genevieve Brassard, English: 15th Annual Space Between and Modernist Studies Association (MSA) Conferences, $1,100
- Hannah Callender, math: Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Biology, $1,291

Romanaggi Gift To RISE
The University has announced a RISE Campaign donation of $56,000 from Don Romanaggi, a 1956 alumnus and longtime supporter of the University. His gift benefits student scholarships at the University and upgrades to Don V. Romanaggi M.D. Hall, formerly Old Science Hall. He and his late wife Agnes, a 1959 UP graduate, also made an estate planning gift to provide continued maintenance of the building. Romanaggi was one of the first donors to the Rev. John Molter, C.S.C., Chair in Science, contributed generously to the creation of Swindells Hall, and has created numerous named scholarships. He has been a regent since 1991.

Good Friday, Easter
University offices will be closed and no classes will be held on Friday, March 29, 2013, in observance of Good Friday, according to Tom Greene, provost. The closing actually begins at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 28; no classes should continue beyond that time, and other events, apart from those connected with the religious observance of Holy Week, should not be scheduled from that time through Monday, April 1. Even though classes are not scheduled for Easter Monday, offices will be open.
The early closing on Holy Thursday is intended to allow students, faculty, and staff to attend the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, which will be celebrated in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher at 4:30 p.m. The University’s custom of closing on Good Friday is in acknowledgment of the special religious character of the day. In Catholic tradition, Good Friday has always been recognized as one of three important days (the Sacred Triduum) of religious observance: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter.
