The approvals recognize years of excellence and contributions in teaching, research and service.

UCF faculty members across the university marked a major achievement in earning promotions and tenure for the 2024-25 cycle.
The 115 approved faculty — 76 for promotion and 39 for tenure — underwent a comprehensive performance evaluation by peers, college and university leaders that took nearly one academic year.
“Earning promotion and tenure is a major career milestone for faculty. It reflects years of hard work, excellence, and outstanding contributions in teaching, research, and service,” says Michael D. Johnson, UCF’s provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs. “I’m proud of these faculty members and confident they will play a major role in advancing UCF’s future success.”
