As we begin the fall semester, we celebrate not only the return of our students but also the significant achievements of our colleagues. At UTC, we honor the outstanding accomplishments of our faculty, many of whom have achieved tenure or promotion. We are privileged to serve alongside such a distinguished faculty body and invite you to join me in congratulating them. UTC is committed to fostering the intellectual growth of both students and faculty. Our development grants support high-value proposals for scholarship, research, and creative activity, while professional development leaves offer periods of renewal and reflection away from regular duties, benefiting faculty on their intellectual journeys.
