CTN Board Chair, Rogelio Saenz was selected for induction by the UTSA Academy of Distinguished Researchers in the discipline of demography. He is one of five senior faculty members selected.  This is UTSA’s largest cohort to date since its inception in 2015.

Sponsored by the UTSA Knowledge Enterprise, the academy honors and recognizes exceptional faculty who are accomplished scholars and who share the university’s continuing commitment to research excellence. Through a rigorous nomination process, the academy selects members who foster the highest quality of research and scholarly activity.

“The UTSA Academy of Distinguished Researchers received the largest class of nominees from across our eight colleges this past year,” Chair Hamid Beladi explained. “We are inducting five outstanding faculty scholars from across the university in 2021. The Academy is dedicated to fostering a culture of exceptional research practices at UTSA and creating a collective of faculty advocates for research excellence who also serve as a resource for their colleagues.”

An induction ceremony and luncheon will be held later this semester to honor the 2021 cohort.
