Elizabeth B. Gleeson Professorship in Physics

By Richard Hazeltine (chair@physics.utexas.edu)

It is a particular pleasure to announce a new, very special gift to the Department—a Professorship donated by our colleague Austin Gleeson. The Elizabeth B. Gleeson Professorship in Physics honors Austin’s beloved late wife, Betsy. It brings to the Department Chair’s office resources that will be used, in future years, to reward those faculty who make especially vital contributions to the Department’s administration.

This generous gift enriches the Department in a critically important way. On behalf of all of us I express heartfelt thanks to Austin.
