Professor Esther Conwell receives Honorary Degree from SUNY Geneseo
Esther M. Conwell has been selected to receive an Honorary Doctorate of Science Degree from SUNY Geneseo on May 16th, 2009 at the afternoon graduation ceremony. This degree recognizes her many remarkable career contributions toward advancing scientific knowledge, and honor her for her leadership as a woman in science. Although SUNY is the largest system of higher education in the U.S., very few honorary degrees are conferred. This is just the latest in a series of lifetime achievement awards that demonstrate the esteem in which Esther is held in the scientific and educational community.
