Outstanding Faculty Honored

Research/Academic Showcase

 

Dr. Whitmore These fine men and women are a key reason that Texas Tech continues to grow in stature and academic reputation says President Jon Whitmore.

Dozens of Texas Tech University faculty members were honored recently for their quality teaching and research.

“It is a pleasure to honor some of our outstanding faculty members,” said Jon Whitmore, president of Texas Tech University, at the annual Faculty Honors Convocation held April 11. “We have an excellent faculty, and that makes the award decisions difficult. These fine men and women are a key reason that Texas Tech continues to grow in stature and academic reputation.”

These highly competitive awards focus on teaching, research and service, which are the core missions of the university.

“These awards are an indication of the quality faculty members who are teaching our students, discovering new knowledge through their research and working within our community, state and world to find solutions to the challenges facing society,” said Bill Marcy, provost of Texas Tech University.
