ECE Professor Sherman Shen has been designated "University Professor" by the University of Waterloo's Tenure & Promotion Committee. Professor Shen is the first in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering to be honoured with this distinction.
The
University
of
Waterloo
owes
much
of
its
international
reputation
and
stature
to
the
quality
of
its
eminent
professors.
The
designation
"University
Professor"
is
the
way
Waterloo
recognizes
exceptional
scholarly
achievement
and
international
pre-eminence.
Once
appointed,
a
faculty
member
retains
the
designation
until
retirement.
Not
counting
retirees,
it
is
anticipated
there
will
be
one
University
Professor
for
approximately
every
60
full-time
regular
faculty
members,
with
at
most
two
appointments
each
year.
Such
appointments
are
reported
to
Senate
and
the
Board
of
Governors,
and
are
recognized
at
Convocation.
Congratulations
on
this
extraordinary
achievement
Sherman!
