In an effort to mark the many accomplishments of outstanding students, faculty and staff, the Philosophy Department convened on a lovely day in May for its Inaugural Honors and Awards Banquet.
The event brought together alumni, donors, student award recipients, department faculty and staff, and graduate student degree recipients.
The Alumni Lounge of the Pyle Center served as the event base.
In addition to acknowledging the many honors earned by philosophy students, and recognizing the accomplishments of faculty and staff, the department also paid special homage to Professors Ivan Soll and Keith Yandell, who recently retired from UW-Madison after 47 and 45 years of service, respectively.
The department sees this banquet as the beginning of a great annual tradition!
