The University of Minnesota Scholars Walk was dedicated on Friday, September 29. Stretching from Walnut Street near the McNamara Alumni Center west to Appleby Hall and Pleasant Street (the major east-west walkway on the East Bank campus), it celebrates the research and classroom accomplishments of the University's award-winning faculty and students.
School of Dentistry's Drs. Gorlin, Douglas and Rhodus are included among those honored on various "honor kiosks" along the Scholar's Walk.
Dr. Robert Gorlin
In the Regents Professors Category. The Regents Professorship was established in 1965. It is the highest recognition given by the University to a member of its faculty for outstanding academic distinction in scholarly or artistic work, teaching or contributions to the public good. Once designated a Regents Professor, faculty members hold the title for as long as they remain at the University.
