| Renford Reese, a Political Science professor, received a Golden Leaves Award for writing ?American Paradox: Young Black Men.? |
The University Library, in conjunction with Research & Sponsored Programs, honored 34 Cal Poly Pomona authors and/or editors at the annual Golden Leaves Awards luncheon on April 16 in the library?s Special Collections Room.
The Golden Leaves Awards are presented to members of the Cal Poly Pomona campus community?including faculty, staff, alumni, students and retirees?who have authored or edited a published book during the preceding year. The event is usually scheduled during National Library Week in April.
?Since 1986 when the Golden Leaves Awards began, the Cal Poly Pomona community has collectively authored more than 300 volumes,? said University Library Dean Harold B. Schleifer. ?It?s a very diverse and interesting group of work.?
President Michael Ortiz attended the event to congratulate and recognize the literary accomplishments of the authors.
?The process of writing is a very personal thing that really requires a great deal of discipline and eventually evolves into a very public display of what that work is,? said Ortiz. ?The result is that it not only brings recognition that the academy places on this skill, but it also reflects very positively on the institution. On behalf of the institution, congratulations and thank you for maintaining the reputation of Cal Poly Pomona.?
A book exhibit featuring campus authors will be on display in the library through April. A Web-based representation of current and past authors is accessible at www.cpp.edu/~library/html/authors_award.html.
