John Coleman, dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota, just announced that Tuck has been selected to receive the Alumni of Notable Achievement award at a ceremony in June.  Only one percent of CLA alumni are chosen for this distinction.

The dean cited “your 39-year career as a respected professor of sculpture and your prolific and highly-decorated creation of art” as the reason for this award.

Next year is the CLA’s 150^thanniversary.  Tuck received his BA in 1961 and MFA in 1964 at the University of Minnesota.
