(Sept. 4, 2019) -- UTSA Academic Affairs announces the promotion of 45 faculty members, effective Sept. 1, 2019.
Twenty-eight faculty members were promoted to associate professor with tenure. Tenure is awarded to faculty who distinguish themselves in the areas of teaching; research, scholarship or creative activities; and service to the university and community; and who further demonstrate strong potential for continued excellence in these areas. Seventeen faculty members were promoted to full professor in recognition of sustained professional accomplishment.
“Our students benefit directly from the exciting research and discoveries generated by our faculty as they are exposed to this new knowledge first-hand in the classroom, lab, and other interactions with their professors and do not have to wait for it to appear in the textbooks of tomorrow,” said Kimberly Andrews Espy, UTSA provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs. “Please join me in recognizing these exceptional scholars on this significant professional achievement.”
