One area of improvement identified in our climate survey report involves recognitions and rewards for faculty accomplishments. In AY22-23, the College of Education and P-16 Integration started the CEP Faculty Spotlight Series in Research and External Grants to recognize CEP faculty members’ accomplishments and successes. Aligned with our climate survey report, CEP strategic plan, and UTRGV’s goal to become a R1 university, this spotlight series will showcase faculty members’ accomplishments in external grants and research.
The key goals of this series are to:
- Celebrate and recognize CEP faculty members’ significant accomplishments in research and external grants
- Cultivate a research enterprise by fostering research and external grants conversations among faculty members
- Stimulate interest in external grant writing
The Research Council, which is a sub-committee of the College Council, selects a CEP faculty member in (1) Research and (2) External Grants for each semester. The selected CEP faculty members in (1) Research and (2) External Grants will lead a workshop on a topic of their choice. Faculty spotlight members for the fall 2024 semester will be announced soon. Nominations or self-nominations for spring 2025 will be accepted in January 2025. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Javier Cavazos (Javier.cavazos@utrgv.edu).
