Each year, the University of Connecticut proudly recognizes faculty members across our campuses who have earned promotion and/or tenure. These decisions reflect the exceptional contributions our faculty make through their teaching, research, mentorship, and service to the university and the broader community.

Promotion and tenure mark important milestones in a faculty member’s academic journey, affirming both past achievements and the promise of continued impact. We extend our sincere congratulations and gratitude to those honored this year.
