“I offer special congratulations to our faculty members who were awarded tenure and promoted to the rank of associate professor. They have advanced to the next level of the academy through their outstanding teaching, research and creative works, and service, and I expect their advancement to continue in the years ahead as they progress toward the full professor rank.”
