2010 Academy of Distinguished Teaching Scholars

Joseph Glover, Provost

Each year the Academy of Distinguished Teaching Scholars honors University of Florida’s exceptional teaching and scholarship accomplishments by inducting into its membership faculty members who have demonstrated sustained innovation and commitment in both areas. Please join me in welcoming the 2010 inductees:

Dr. Sidney Homan, Professor, Department of English
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Dr. W. Gregory Sawyer, Professor, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
College of Engineering

Dr. Barbara A. Barletta, Professor, Department of Art and Art History
College of Fine Arts

Dr. Howard Louthan, Associate Professor, Department of History
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Dr. Miklos Bona, Professor, Department of Mathematics
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

These teacher-scholars were selected based on portfolio submissions that provided strong evidence of the integration of superior teaching and research and a record of distinguished scholarly accomplishment that has garnered recognition at the national and/or international level.

To assist them in advancing their vision for scholarly excellence and faculty enhancement at UF, these Academy teacher-scholar inductees will serve for three years on the advisory board for Faculty Development. In this capacity they will assist the Associate Provost in developing programs and promoting policies that enhance the professional careers and experiences of faculty. Academy members also promote a university-wide discourse on key issues surrounding the integration of teaching and research at the university.

After completing their three-year terms on the advisory board, members will retain the title of Distinguished Teaching Scholar and continue to be a part of the Academy.
