Jennifer Predock-Linnell will receive the Faculty Acknowledgement Award from University Libraries in a ceremony on November 10, 2005 at 2 p.m. in the Willard Reading Room of Zimmerman Library on the UNM main campus. She and her students will perform a dance presentation titled “Nowhere Slowly.”
Predock-Linnell is a tenured professor of dance at UNM and has received numerous awards for her choreography and research. She is currently researching contemporary choreographers of Mexico from the 1970's to the 1990's.

The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
