Roberto González Echevarría, Sterling Professor of Hispanic and Comparative Literature, was awarded a National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama in a White House ceremony on March 2. (See Q & A with Roberto González Echevarría.)
The Yale professor is among 10 distinguished individuals to receive the honor, which recognizes those "whose work has deepened the nation's understanding of the humanities, broadened our citizens' engagement with the humanities, or helped preserve and expand Americans' access to important resources in the humanities." Up to 12 medals can be awarded each year.
