The UT System's most innovative and dedicated educators will share $2.4 million this month as winners of the Regents' Outstanding Teaching Award. Faculty members from across the UT System's 15 academic and health institutions will receive $25,000 each and will be honored at a ceremony Wednesday, Aug. 20, in Austin.
UT Arlington honorees are: Krystal Beamon, assistant professor of sociology; Darryl Lauster, assistant professor of art and art history; Allan Saxe, associate professor of political science; and Kevin Schug, Shimadzu Distinguished Professor of Analytical Chemistry.
The four professors bring UT Arlington's total number of Regents' Outstanding Teaching Award recipients to 45 since the program's inception in 2008.
The awards highlight the talent and commitment to excellence in teaching among UT Arlington faculty members, President Vistasp M. Karbhari said.

The best teachers instill in their students a shared passion for life-long learning and discovery," Karbhari said. "This year¹s UT System Regents Outstanding Teaching Awards winners represent the very best that UT Arlington has to offer our students, and we are honored to call them our colleagues."
