The History and Traditions Committee periodically presents certificates of recognition to persons, groups, units, departments, and schools and colleges, in recognition of their efforts to promote aspects of university history, ranging from publications to exhibitions, anniversary celebrations, building restorations, and individual efforts. The committee hopes these framed citations will raise the visibility of historical projects on campus and encourage other units to undertake activities to promote their own history.
