for the Arts on the Fairfax campus. In addition,
45 faculty members will participate in the procession.

Wolf is receiving this award in recognition
of his support of our National Center for the
Deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems,
the Telework and Training Centers operated
by the Mason Enterprise Center, the Critical
Infrastructure Protection Project operated
by the School of Law in which SPP has played
a major role as a research partner, and his
