I am delighted to congratulate our colleagues whose achievements are recognized in these pages. The tenure and promotion process involves rigorous evaluation by external reviewers, department faculty, program directors, chairs, deans, the divisional and university promotion and tenure committees, the Provost, the President, and final approval by the Board of Trustees. They have achieved national recognition in their disciplines, and they are committed to promoting a vibrant learning and discovery environment for all of our students. It is a tremendous privilege to present our colleagues’ successes in teaching, research and creative activity, their professional service, their accomplishments to date, and their plans for the future.
—Chris Makaroff, Interim Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
