Promotions are an official confirmation of a faculty member's academic accomplishments and the value of their contributions in their respective fields. To be considered for promotion, faculty must have a demonstrated record of contributing to the university through activities in teaching, research, and service. 

"Academic promotion recognizes and rewards excellence in our faculty, and is essential to the advancement of the College. Faculty are eligible for promotion by demonstrating excellence in research, teaching, scholarly productivity and service to science, profession, and society. We are honored to have six highly deserving recipients of faculty promotion this year,” commented Professor and Executive Associate Dean Gary Milavetz.
