Eroglu and Bedlack Awarded Distinguished Professorships

Duke University has awarded Distinguished Professorships to 44 faculty members. The honorees were formally recognized by President Vincent Price and Interim Provost Jennifer Francis during a ceremony at the Washington Duke Inn Thursday evening.

Distinguished Professorships recognize faculty scholars who are well-established members of the Duke academic community who have also achieved distinction as creative scholars in their field or in their ability to transcend disciplines.

Price noted the broad influence the awardees have had through their scholarship, by “shaping our understanding of the world, and advancing opportunities, solutions, and inventions to improve the human condition.”

Francis celebrated the awardees’ commitment to continued scholarly excellence that includes mentoring the next generation of scholars. “We are very proud that you have chosen to conduct your work on Duke’s campus and are part of the Duke community,” she said.
