UTA has bolstered its research portfolio in recent years through a variety of means, such as new infrastructure, new partnerships with industry and academia, and—most importantly—new faculty. More than 100 faculty have joined UTA over the past year, including National Academy members, renowned scientists, and award-winning artists. These educators are filling positions in all eight of the University’s degree-granting colleges and schools, where they do important work in line with our four strategic themes. Their collaborative approach to research and instruction will not only help our students receive the education they need to make an impact in the world, but also help support the community through life-changing innovations.
