Sojourner Truth Library celebrates faculty authors
Members of the SUNY New Paltz faculty convened at the Sojourner Truth Library on March 6 for the College’s seventh annual Celebration of Faculty Authors.
This event sees faculty and staff taking a moment from busy schedules to recognize the hard work and determination required to bring a book to publication.
“Authoring a book requires its own exceptional qualities and habits,” said Interim Provost Barbara Lyman. “Dedicating years of labor out of view tucked away in an office, museum, archive or elsewhere off-stage. I am struck once again since my arrival at New Paltz by the exceptional qualities of the College, and in particular by the exceptional faculty who serve at this institution.”
There are now more than 2,180 book-length works by SUNY New Paltz faculty authors in the Sojourner Truth Library’s collection, including 31 books by 25 faculty members honored at the 2020 celebration, according to Library Dean W. Mark Colvson.
