Faculty Earn Professor Status
RALEIGH, N.C. (August 29, 2022) – Seventy-seven Wake Tech faculty members earned promotions as part of the college's faculty rank system this year. The college established the faculty rank system in 2014 to reward excellence – and to attract and retain the most effective educators.
Among those achieving a new rank, 41 were named assistant professor, 26 were named associate professor, eight were named professor and two were named senior professor. Each will receive a salary increase, along with a special ceremonial cord to be worn with formal regalia at graduations and other academic events.
Promotion is determined through a rigorous set of criteria, including advanced academic credentials, innovative teaching strategies, leadership and community service. Rank also requires tenure at the college. Assistant professors must have completed three years of full-time teaching at Wake Tech, while senior professors certify that they have taught at least 12 years at Wake Tech.
Congratulations to the following faculty members:
