About

The University of Texas at Arlington Libraries and the Office of the Provost are pleased to host the sixth Celebration of Faculty Creative Works, an exhibition showcasing the books, art, music, media, patents, conference activities, and journal contributions made by UT Arlington faculty in 2013.

The event was initiated by the Libraries to give special attention to the depth and breadth of scholarship and creativity that takes place on campus and to strengthen ties within the campus community. It complements the University’s tradition of sharing information about faculty expertise across disciplines, which is exemplified by the Libraries-sponsored Focus on Faculty Speakers’ Series that began in 2000. As the intellectual and creative center of campus, the Libraries are an appropriate partner to promote new information and new knowledge.

Expanding the boundaries of knowledge is the stock-in-trade of a research university. We want to acknowledge the productivity and distinction of our faculty and honor their accomplishments.

We congratulate the individuals represented in these pages and in the exhibit. The work is diverse, compelling, and groundbreaking—things for which all of us, as UT Arlington Mavericks, can be proud.

~Ronald L. Elsenbaumer, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
~Becca Bichel, Dean of the Library
