Rosenblatt Lunches 2005 - Department of Philosophy

The Rosenblatt Lunches:

The Rosenblatt Luncheon Series is sponsored by Peggy Battin and Leslie Francis, co-winners of the 2000 Rosenblatt Prize for Excellence. The Rosenblatt Prize for Excellence is an endowed award, given annually to an outstanding member of the faculty of the University of Utah, "... to honor excellence in teaching, in research, and in administrative efforts, collectively or individually, in behalf of the university." The endowment was created to honor Nathan and Tillie Rosenblatt, on the centenary of their immigration to Utah and in recognition of their legacy of civic leadership and generosity. Professors Battin and Francis after winning the Rosenblatt Prize donated a portion of their award to the department to establish the lecture series.
