The Provost's Teaching Fellows are excited to announce the members of the 2021 PTF Cohort, who were selected from a competitive group of applicants. This year's cohort includes faculty who teach across 7 colleges and 13 departments, reaching students on virtually every corner of the 40 Acres.  We are also proud to note that this cohort includes the largest percentage of Non-Tenure Track, Teaching, and Professional faculty in the program's history.

The Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs and the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs offered support for this year’s Provost’s Teaching Fellows cohort to empower UT’s best and brightest professional teaching faculty to create cultures of change in their departments and colleges.

The Provost's Teaching Fellows Program empowers faculty to advance education in two ways: through individual initiatives that improve teaching and learning at UT, and through campus-wide events that promote the quality of education and its status in the campus culture. The PTF Program operates in conjuction with and is supported by the Center for Teaching and Learning.
