Promotion and tenure remain hallmarks of academic achievement and excellence for NC State faculty. Promoted faculty have met rigorous standards in their realms of responsibility, and tenured faculty have made a significant impact in their discipline.
“Our faculty are the core of our leadership in learning and knowledge discovery in higher education,” said Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Warwick Arden. “We seek to show our appreciation for their contributions to our university through continual efforts to support their progress toward their teaching, research and innovation goals.”
Promoted and tenured faculty in all disciplines help move the university forward in its quest to create societal, economic and intellectual prosperity on campus and around the world.
“We know that our faculty are leaders on campus as well as nationally and internationally,” said Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs Katharine Stewart. “Their commitment to creating new knowledge in their fields of study and to sharing that knowledge with students in their classrooms and through mentorship is reflected in their achievement of promotion in rank and award of tenure.”
Congratulations to all newly-promoted and tenured faculty for their accomplishments and significant contributions to the success of academics at NC State.
