Six members of the Texas A&M University faculty, including Dr. Darren Hartl, were honored with the University Professorships for Undergraduate Teaching Excellence (UPUTE). These awards are conferred upon the most accomplished teachers of undergraduates at the university. These professors are not only exceptional instructors, but also are innovators in pedagogy, exploring new teaching methods, and seeking engagement with other educators in pursuit of excellence.
University Professorships for Undergraduate Teaching Excellence carry a three-year monetary award and a bursary to support teaching and expand opportunities for professional development. Faculty members who are selected for these professorships are expected to be actively involved in faculty development programs for teaching for the duration of their award.
University Professorships for Undergraduate Teaching Excellence are made possible through generous endowments by George and Irma Eppright, John I. Kincaid, and Arthur J. and Wilhelmina Doré Thaman.
