The promotion of 23 TCPL faculty to associate, senior, or full teaching, clinical professor, or lecturer was recently announced by the office of the provost at Miami University. 

It is a privilege to recognize these outstanding educators for their achievements and commitment to their students and disciplines,” said Chris Makaroff, interim provost and executive vice president of academic affairs. “Their contributions in our classrooms, labs, and applied learning spaces are helping to develop the next generation of future leaders. I’m honored to work alongside them to advance our mission of student success.”

They join 32 tenure-track faculty and three librarians whose promotion and/or tenure were approved by the Miami University board of trustees Feb. 27. The actions take effect July 1.
