Moving onward and upward
The College of Science is proud to congratulate the following faculty for receiving promotions and/or tenure this spring.
“Congratulations on your exceptional achievements which have earned you promotion and/or tenure,” says College of Science dean Sastry Pantula.
“Your efforts are instrumental in advancing the College, building a vibrant research center and creating a stimulating learning environment for our science students and the OSU community at large.”
Tremendous consideration goes into each promotion and tenure decision. The dean’s office, department chairs, promotions and tenure committee members, faculty, external reviewers, students who offer letters of support, and of course the individual faculty member spends many hours preparing, processing and reviewing the documentation. The process is extremely rigorous in order to award the best candidates for promotion and/or tenure.
Special thanks to our College of Science Promotions and Tenure Committee for devoting a significant time this spring engaged in the review process.
