Standing Committees
Faculty members in each of UT Southwestern's schools carry on a strong tradition of service to their departments, school, and the University as a whole through their participation on various committees and task forces. Each school at UTSW has developed its own faculty committees to serve the specific needs of the students and faculty in that school.
Should you have a comment or request for additional information about Standing Committees, please refer to the related school's section for contact information.
President's Office Committees
- Institutional Standing Committees
Institutional Standing Committees are established at the discretion of the President to engage the expertise, perspectives, and institutional commitment of a broad cross-section of UT Southwestern faculty and staff on issues and activities related to the institution’s mission, policies, and operations. Committee chairs and members are appointed by the President and serve in an important, advisory capacity, typically for one-year renewable terms. More information (VPN required)
