Once a year, TCU academic deans deliberate among outstanding nominees from each college and school to honor with the Deans鈥� Award for Teaching and the Deans鈥� Award for Research and Creativity.
Reading through their accomplishments, letters of support from colleagues at TCU and other institutions, endorsements from students and the faculty members鈥� own statements, the deans discuss, deliberate and choose three winners for each award. Each winner receives $2,500.
Interim Provost Floyd L. Wormley, Jr., announced the 2024 winners.
鈥�TCU has some of the best faculty members in the nation, so I know the deans have a tough decision to make each year to choose just six to honor,鈥� Wormley said. 鈥淚 congratulate these respected educators who teach our students and lead the way in their fields through research and creative activity. Their dedication and excellence in the classroom and beyond help make TCU a driving force for academic excellence.鈥�
