Greetings,
I am thrilled to let you know that after nearly 12 years of sustained efforts by past and present faculty, researchers, staff and students, ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ has earned the ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ Tier One designation from the state of ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ!
This distinction recognizes ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ’s academic and research excellence, and it secures our status as a preeminent institution for education, research and innovation. I am incredibly proud of this accomplishment and so grateful to the Maverick community for its focused efforts and unrelenting dedication as we worked together to achieve this milestone.
The ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ Tier One designation provides access to new funding from the National Research University Fund, a program ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ legislators established to assist state institutions as they pursue prominence among national research universities. It will supplement ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ’s ability to provide affordable, high-caliber education programs; expand our research capacity; attract exemplary faculty; contribute to the regional, state and national economy; and produce sought-after, workforce-ready graduates.
ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ’s pursuit of ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ Tier One was a significant, long-term undertaking that demonstrates Maverick determination and our commitment to excellence in academics and research. The designation places us among an elite group of national research institutions, and we are poised for even greater achievement in the years ahead.
Whether faculty, staff, students, alumni or supporters, all Mavericks can take great pride in this accomplishment. It bolsters the already highly regarded reputation of our beloved University and amplifies our opportunities for the future. Please join me in celebrating this success and sharing a heightened sense of Maverick pride.
Go ÌÇÐÄVlogÊÓƵ Tier One and Go Mavs!
Sincerely,
