The Board of Trustees named Dan Brass as a University Research Professor at their May 1 meeting. The designation is awarded to "recognize and publicize research accomplishments of scholars across the full range of disciplines at UK." Vice President for Research Lisa Cassis noted Brass' pioneering research in social network theory, the establishment of the LINKS Center for Social Network Analysis, and the more than 22,000 citations to his research. Brass joins colleague Steve Borgatti as the second University Research Professor from the Department of Management.
