Stuart Long and David Shattuck, professors from the Cullen College of Engineering, have been invited to be Fellows of the Honors College at the University of Houston. They have been appointed for a renewable, three-year term of service to the Honors and engineering communities.

Fellows serve a particularly important function as a liaison between the Honors College and their own home department. Long and Shattuck will be able to lend their expertise and experience to the Honors College's efforts to extend and strengthen course offerings to honors students in the Cullen College of Engineering.

As Fellows of the Honors College, Long and Shattuck will advise individual honors students, and work alongside the permanent Honors faculty. They will serve as designated Honors readers on senior theses, and assist in recruiting potential honors students. Fellows are also called on to participate in various Honors activities, such as the Fall Retreat, Senior Awards Banquet, and Honors Convocation.

Ted Estess, dean of the UH Honors College, is quick to point out that, "As extraordinary university citizens, Drs. Long and Shattuck are already contributing to Honors education in most of these ways. Their appointment as Fellows formalizes their affiliation with Honors and opens avenues that will further benefit both Honors and Engineering."

In recognition of their Fellowship, Long and Shattuck will each be provided $1,500 a year from the Honors College for discretionary spending on their own research or for assisting their work with honors engineering students.
