The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has received national recognition for doing something most universities do, but rarely do this well. The Department of English’s Composition Program has been awarded a 2025–26 Conference on College Composition and Communication Writing Program Certificate of Excellence—the highest honor given by the CCCC, a constituent organization within the National Council of Teachers of English.
UTC recognizes faculty with grants, professorships, promotions, tenure and professional development leave
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.
