"I will continue to talk about the individual stories that add up to this recognition. That is where the richness and quality of our contributions are best seen. Day in and day out, we are doing extraordinary things for our students and the world around us," he said.

We are compiling stories about our scholarly impact. If you have one, please share it with Anne Gregory at aggregory@manchester.edu and put "Scholarly Impact" in the subject line.
