Oct 2009 21:51:48 -0700 Subject: [SAM] Reg Golledge memorial Message-ID: <4AD558E4.6070202@geog.ucsb.edu> SPECIAL EVENT AT UCSB IN MEMORY OF REG GOLLEDGE Reg Golledge was elected the 2008/9 UCSB Faculty Research Lecturer, the "highest honor the UCSB faculty can bestow on one of its own." Reg passed away May 29 before his lecture could be delivered. On Monday Nov 2 three of his colleagues -- Dan Montello, Helen Couclelis, and Jack Loomis -- will present perspectives on his research contribution. The presentations will begin at 3.30 in Corwin Hall and will be followed by a reception. Further information can be found at http://www.geog.ucsb.edu/events/department-news/#post635, including contact information for out-of-town visitors, and please feel free to contact Mike Goodchild at the coordinates below with any questions. -- *********************************************************** Michael F Goodchild Director, spatial@ucsb Professor of Geography Ellison Hall 5707 University of California Santa Barbara, CA 93106-4060, USA Office: +1 805 893 8049 FAX: +1 805 893 3146 Mobile: +1 805 455 6529 ***********************************************************
