'Celebration of Inventorship Reception'

Each spring the Office of Technology Development hosts a reception to honor all University faculty, staff and students who are named as an inventor on a patent that issued in the previous calender year.  This year the Celebration of Inventorship Reception was held on Tuesday, April 22nd at the Carolina Club.  At this reception Tony Waldrop, Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development, welcomed everyone; Mark Crowell, Assoc. Vice Chancellor for Economic Development, read the list of inventors and Provost Burnadette Gray-Little honored our inventors with a plaque of a reproduction of the first page of his/her issued patent. The food was great as well as the wine and beer selection! It was a wonderful event!
