The University of Arkansas announced 20 faculty members who were recognized for their outstanding performance and been awarded tenure and/or promotion for the 2021-2022 academic year.

This year, honors also include the recognition of four faculty members who earned the honorific title of Distinguished Professor, a distinction reserved for those individuals who are “recognized nationally and/or internationally as intellectual leaders in their academic disciplines as a result of extraordinary accomplishments in research, teaching, published works, creative activities in the arts or endeavors of similar merit in other venues.”

One faculty member was named University Professor for “an extended period of exemplary service in a spirit of collegiality to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, and a combination of service in their profession and to the public through their professional activities.”

Nine faculty members were awarded tenure and promotion to Associate Professor, one received promotion in academic rank to Professor, one award of tenure, one promotion to Senior Instructor, and three promotions to Advanced Instructor.

More About MoSI Workshop

Although “scientific” is part of the name (Mobile Summer Institute on Scientific Teaching), this program is not about the sciences, and enrollment is open to faculty from all disciplines.

Overwhelming evidence shows that students perform better in active learning classrooms. Students in these environments are 1.5 times more likely to pass compared to students in sections that only use traditional lectures.

MoSI offers an immersive experience to increase knowledge and capabilities with evidence-based teaching approaches such as active learning and inclusive teaching practices.

Food will be provided including a very light breakfast and full lunch. We will host an opening day reception on the first night, Monday, May 18, from 4:30-6 p.m.

Space is limited; please complete by February 26. We will confirm participation (based on the availability of positions) in early March.
