Trophies

Students aren’t the only ones who strive to make the honor roll. At University of Texas at Austin’s McCombs School of Business, 11 business faculty members were honored for their achievements in teaching.

David Platt, associate dean for undergraduate programs, who helps advise students for the Honor Roll event, spoke to McCombs Today about the group.

“McCombs is chock full of excellent teachers, and there is no magic bullet that sets this group apart,” said Platt. “Indeed, the group is notable for its diversity: they are researchers and practitioners, experienced and novice; they teach required classes and electives, upper division and lower division; and they are a mix of departments, genders, ages, and ethnicities.”
