UConn Celebrates Promotion and Tenure of Faculty
Evaluations for promotion, tenure, and reappointment apply the highest standards of professional achievement in scholarship, teaching, and service for each faculty member evaluated
Each year, the University of Connecticut proudly recognizes faculty members across our campuses who have earned promotion and/or tenure. These decisions reflect the exceptional contributions our faculty make through their teaching, research, mentorship, and service to the university and the broader community.
Promotion and tenure mark important milestones in a faculty member’s academic journey, affirming both past achievements and the promise of continued impact. We extend our sincere congratulations and gratitude to those honored this year.
