Lemma Senbet Honored for
Contributions to Smith School
Lemma Senbet,
William E. Mayer Professor of
Finance, was honored for his many
years of service to the finance
department, and the Smith School of
Business, at a
lavish dinner party at the Cosmos
Club in Washington, D.C., on October
5, 2006. The gala event was attended
by about 90 people, including all
the former chairs of the department,
and a past dean of the University of
Washington, who flew in specially
for the event. Former Smith School
Deans Rudy Lamone and Bill Mayer
were also present to express their
appreciation for Lemma’s many
contributions to the Smith School
community.
"The evening was a very fitting
tribute to Lemma for his enormous commitment to building a top-tier
finance department, and contributing
to the Smith School in so many
ways," said Associate Professor and
Interim Department Chair Alex
Triantis. "Many of the 90 attendees
dubbed the event a 'reunion' as
former chairs, deans and students
assembled to thank Lemma for his
outstanding contributions to the
department."
