The 2021 Salute to UNT Faculty Book Authors is an event that honors faculty authors and co-authors of 1st edition books, original translations or scholarly editions published in any format in 2020.  This event is sponsored by the UNT Libraries in partnership with Faculty Success and Research and Innovation and is part of the Salute to Excellence in Research and Creative Activity Event.  In past years following the event, a physical exhibition of the author's poster and book were displayed in the UNT Libraries - this year our faculty author's accomplishments are celebrated and memorialized in this video.
