The campus community is invited to the inaugural lecture of the Professor Leon and Pauline Blitzer Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Physics and Related Sciences.

Leon Blitzer, a UA alumnus, was a professor of physics at the UA from 1946 until his retirement in 1985.
Blitzer was well-known for his research in celestial mechanics and spectroscopy. The award serves as a tribute to his dedication to teaching and students for four decades.
Pauline Blitzer was a UA alumna, a teacher, an activist in civic and charitable affairs and part of the Physics Department.
