The Arizona Board of Regents has named the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research director, Tom Swetnam, as one of the few Regents' Professors they designate each year. The Regents bestow this honor at their discretion to recognize faculty within the State-supported universities who have distinguished themselves in research, teaching, or creative work, and who have already attained recognition nationally or internationally.
