2022 Integrated Scholars Announced

 

MEMORANDUM

DATE:   March 25, 2022
 
TO:   Faculty and Staff 
 
FROM:   Ron Hendrick, Provost and Senior Vice President 
 
RE:   2022 Integrated Scholars

 I am pleased to announce eight faculty members as Integrated Scholars for 2022.

Integrated Scholars are faculty who dedicate themselves to a course of lifelong learning and advance Texas Tech's role in educating, serving and inspiring others to do the same.

Integrated Scholars are not only outstanding in teaching, research and service, but they are also able to generate synergy among the three functions. Faculty members who are Integrated Scholars consistently promote active learning and infuse the results of their research and scholarship in courses and other learning experiences. Integrated Scholars publish results of their teaching innovations in peer-reviewed journals. Finally, Integrated Scholar faculty members plan and execute service commitments to complement their teaching and research goals.

This year, 24 high-quality nominations for Integrated Scholars were received, and it was no easy task to narrow the field to this group of finalists. I am grateful to the vice provosts in my office who reviewed the nominations.

Traditionally, each Integrated Scholar is profiled on the Provost website so that you can get to know our scholars better. A profile on each of this year's Integrated Scholars will be published later in the year. Integrated Scholar profiles from 2021 and earlier can be viewed on the Integrated Scholars 2021 website.

Please join me in congratulating this year's Integrated Scholars: 

• Coy Callison, Professor, Public Relations and Strategic Communication, College of Media & Communication
