Milestone Recognition Program

The University of Dayton Office of the Provost and the University Libraries initiated a program in 2017 to recognize faculty promotions, inviting each honored faculty member to select a book for the library's general collection that influenced their professional or personal life. Each book contains a bookplate commemorating the faculty member's milestone achievement.
