8 Diamonds & 13 Hidden Gems

Teaching Academy Awards A&S Faculty for Outstanding Dedication

Each year, the Texas Tech Teaching Academy recognizes the Hidden Gems across campus: the faculty and staff who go above and beyond in fostering student success. In 2021, the Teaching Academy and TLPDC created a new award, the Diamond, to recognize faculty who launched a variety of creative methods and strategies to teach effectively online during the pandemic—while easing the stress of students and colleagues alike.
