Any TCU student will tell you how challenging classes are. Any TCU student also will tell you how smart and compelling the faculty are. Each year, TCU deans choose six to honor.
The Deans’ Award for Teaching and the Deans’ Award for Research and Creative Activity are two of the highest university-level awards at TCU. Nominees must be full-time faculty members employed by TCU for at least five years.
Nominations are selective: only one from each college or school; two from AddRan College of Liberal Arts. All deans meet to discuss the nominees and vote on the three winners for each award. Each award winner receives $2,500. Winners will be announced May 5.
Here are the 16 nominees for the 2023 awards:
