October 21, we celebrate the induction of Valentine Hacquard to the ranks of UMD Distinguished Scholar Teachers (DST), with a lecture from Valentine herself titled "Who Wants to Know? How Children Figure Out What Words and People Mean." This will be followed by a reception in the adjoining atrium.
The DST award honors members of the Maryland faculty – this year six total, across the university – who "have demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement as well as outstanding accomplishments as teachers, serv[ing] as models of excellence for the faculty of a top research university."
