Leeds' newest Faculty Scholars received named positions and financial support to take their exemplary talents and contributions even further.听
Long renowned for its exceptional faculty, the Leeds School of Business once again celebrates the groundbreaking research and innovative teaching of up-and-coming pre-tenure track and non-tenure track faculty through the Faculty Scholars initiative. Earlier this year, the school bestowed 17 junior faculty with the prestigious distinction of a named position and with it, an annual expense account to further their teaching, research and professional development.听
Last month, Leeds added 12 more standouts to Faculty Scholars.听听
