February 8, 2022

Chancellor Tedd L. Mitchell, M.D., and President Lawrence Schovanec presented teaching and research awards to the Texas Tech University System’s top faculty.

Eight Texas Tech University faculty members were selected as recipients of the 2022 Chancellor's Council Distinguished Teaching and Research Awards.

Dr. Tedd L. Mitchell, chancellor of the Texas Tech University System, and President Lawrence Schovanec, recognized eight faculty members from Texas Tech as recipients of this year's awards. These individuals demonstrate exemplary service and commitment to the achievement of the university. As such, this award is the Texas Tech University System's highest faculty honor.

“Faculty members are an integral part of all we do at the Texas Tech University System,” Mitchell said. “Through their research, outreach and mentorship, they impact our students, our communities and the world. I am proud of the excellence and leadership our award winners exemplify as they conduct innovative, meaningful research and guide our students and institutions to even greater success.”

The awards are made possible through philanthropic gifts to the Chancellor's Council, a giving society that supports the chancellor's priorities of impacting student lives through scholarships, recognizing faculty achievements and encouraging excellence across the system. A total of 219 faculty members have received the honor since the establishment of the awards in 2001, totaling more than $1.3 million.

Recipients receive a $5,000 stipend and an engraved medallion.

Texas Tech University

A new era of excellence is dawning at Texas Tech University as it stands on the cusp of being one of the nation's premier research institutions.

Research and enrollment numbers are at record levels, which cement Texas Tech's commitment to attracting and retaining quality students. In fall 2020, the university achieved a goal more than a decade in the making, reaching a total student population of more than 40,000. In 2018, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education again placed Texas Tech among its top doctoral universities in the nation in the “Very High Research Activity” category. Texas Tech is one of 94 public institutions nationally and 131 overall to achieve this prestigious recognition.

Quality students need top-notch faculty. Texas Tech is home to a diverse, highly revered pool of educators who excel in teaching, research and service. The university strives to foster an environment that celebrates student accomplishment above all else. Texas Tech is large enough to provide the best in facilities and academics but prides itself on being able to focus on each student individually.

The momentum for excellence at Texas Tech has never been greater.
