Dutta Receives Gutgsell Endowed Professorship

Professor Debasish Dutta is one of four faculty invested as an Edward William and Jane Marr Gutgsell Endowed Professor at a formal ceremony held October 28, 2009 in the NCSA Auditorium. Professor Dutta, Dean of the Graduate College, also holds an appointment in the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering.

The Edward William and Jane Marr Gutgsell Endowed Professorships are funded through a gift to the university by the late Edward William Gutgsell and Jane Marr Gutgsell. They were established in 1998 to recognize some of the most distinguished senior faculty on the Urbana-Champaign campus and to promote opportunities for ongoing faculty development. The professorships are five-year renewable term appointments.
