RALEIGH, N.C. (July 23, 2019) – Ninety 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 as a way to reward excellence – and to attract and retain the most effective educators.

Among those achieving a new rank, 48 were named assistant professor, 27 were named associate professor, 13 were named professor, and two were named senior professor. Each will receive 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, along with faculty members’ Applied Benchmarking initiatives. Applied Benchmarking is Wake Tech’s continuous improvement process in which employees are required to find best practices at other institutions and apply those practices at Wake Tech.

In addition to the above criteria, rank 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’ve taught at least 12 years at Wake Tech.

Congratulations to:
