Congratulations, faculty promotion recipients

In all, 122 Iowa State faculty received promotions, including tenure, this spring.

The state Board of Regents approved tenure and faculty promotion requests for the 2024-25 academic year at its April 25 meeting. Iowa State's faculty list featured 66 cases: 24 requests for promotion to associate professor with tenure, and 42 requests for promotion to full professor for previously tenured faculty. The list includes 31 women and 25 men across all seven colleges. Last year, 75 Iowa State faculty received a promotion and/or tenure.

Term faculty promotions

Also this week, the provost's office posted promotions for 56 term faculty for the 2024-25 academic year. Term faculty promotions don't require the regents' approval; the university president gives the final approval.

The promotions span six colleges and include 25 cases of advancement to the professor level and 29 cases to the associate professor level. They include four of the five professional tracks in Iowa State's five-year-old term faculty system: teaching, clinical, practice and adjunct. The fifth is a research track.

Last year, 37 term faculty received promotions.
