As announced in a press release from UAA on Tuesday and on stabenow.com on Wednesday, the University of Alaska Anchorage has honored me with their first ever UAA Alumni of Achievement Award. Obviously, they consulted with none of my professors beforehand. And of course I have to make a joke because I feel honored far beyond my ability to say so with any grace. I am humbled, and thrilled. I'm only sorry that I'll be out of the country on the night of the banquet, but you should all go anyway and support the Alumni Association and UAA. Click here for tickets. |
