Faculty promotions and tenure
Annually the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents approves faculty promotions and/or tenure.
"Exceptional faculty deserve exceptional recognition, and the faculty who received promotion and/or tenure this year have worked extremely hard during the course of their careers to achieve this level of success and recognition,” said Steven L. Berk, M.D., Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center executive vice president, provost and School of Medicine dean. “As always, I am very proud of the faculty in the School of Medicine and their dedication to patient care, education and research.”
