Isaac received two very good pieces of news in the last week or so. First, his first paper submission to a conference has been accepted. The conference is held by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, and more info on it can be found here. This is a big step for him, and will surely help in his bid for tenure.
Second, he is the recipient of the University of Maryland Welcome Fellowship. The fellowship is given to new full-time faculty, and only one is given on each of Maryland's campuses. Isaac is on the University's flagship campus, which is also the largest and presumably the most competitive. To award the fellowship, the president of the University personally selects and recommends an applicant to the Chancellors, so it's a pretty big deal. Along with the prestige of being a fellow, and the FIRST architecture faculty member to receive the award (I'd be willing to bet probably one of the youngest also), he gets money to conduct research over the next three years. Go Isaac!
