Keith Brown Selected as University Distinguished Teaching Professor

Keith Brown, finance professor at the McCombs School of Business, has been selected to join the Academy of Distinguished Teachers—a select group of tenured professors at The University of Texas at Austin that provides leadership and guidance to improve the quality and depth of the undergraduate experience.

“There are only a few faculty selected for this prestigious award every year, and Keith is the eighth McCombs School professor to be so honored,” said George Gau, dean of the McCombs School. “Keith is a fitting addition to this distinguished group and we are proud of his achievement.”

New members of the academy are selected after a rigorous committee evaluation process that involves deans, members of the Academy, students and other faculty. The provost receives recommendations from the committee, and makes the final selections.

Keith Brown will receive the title University Distinguished Teaching Professor and will serve at the Academy of Distinguished Teachers for the duration of his tenure at the university.
