It's with great enthusiasm that we announce that Dr. Yana Hashamova has been selected as a College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures!

In a letter from the College of Arts and Sciences, this position is described as:

"This title serves to honor full professors who have excelled in teaching, service, and research/creative activity, and whose work has demonstrated significant impact on their fields, students, college, university, and/or the public. It is essential that such professorships be reserved for the most distinguished faculty. Therefore, no more than ten percent of the total number of full professors in the College of Arts and Sciences may hold this title at any one time."

Congratulations Dr. Hashamova!
