We congratulate Professors Aziz Sancar and Ronald I. Swanstrom for 40 years of state service, Zbigniew Dominski for 25 years of state service, David S. Paul and Greg Wang for 10 years of state service. Thank you to your hard work and dedication to our mission of research, teaching and service. We are a better place because of all of you!
“The key to Carolina’s success is in its people, and we’re glad to celebrate those who’ve dedicated themselves to the great work we do at UNC-Chapel Hill. They teach, they do research, they provide service and guidance to students, to scientists and scholars, and to the people of the state and beyond. Their commitment to the mission of this place is remarkable, and on this day and all others, we thank them for their service.”
