The University of Texas System Board of Regents today announced 12 recipients of the 2024 Regents Outstanding Teaching Awards. The honorees - faculty from UT academic and health institutions - were selected for demonstrating extraordinary classroom performance and innovative teaching.
"Exceptional teaching is at the heart of our mission, and these award winners represent the highest ideals of education," said UT System Board of Regents Chairman Kevin P. Eltife. "By honoring these 12 educators, we're not only celebrating their achievements but also reinforcing the UT System's role in preparing students to excel in and out of the classroom."
The UT System Board of Regents established the annual Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards program in 2008. Each recipient receives a certificate, a medallion and $25,000 in appreciation of their positive impact on students and their institutions.
"These outstanding faculty members are being honored because they represent the very best - providing exceptional learning experiences for our students," said UT System Chancellor James B. Milliken. "We are grateful to the Board of Regents for creating and championing this recognition of the UT System's commitment to the very best in education."
