The University of Texas at Arlington has made its first hire under the Recruiting Innovative Scholars for Excellence initiative, or RISE 100, bringing to campus Hongtei Eric Tseng, a renowned expert in vehicle autonomy who also is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. UTA recruited Dr. Tseng with key support from the Governor’s University Research Initiative, a program launched by Texas Governor Greg Abbott that helps the state’s public universities attract distinguished researchers who can help bolster both the standing of the state’s higher education institutions and its economic development efforts.
Three UT Arlington graduate programs ranked among the top 60 nationally in the 2024 Best Graduate School rankings from U.S. News & World Report, highlighted by a No. 31 national ranking for the Master of Science in Nursing program in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation.
In the first episode of UTA's new Discovering the Maverick Factor podcast, host Yolanda Bevill talks to President Jennifer Cowley about successful leadership, creating a compelling strategic vision, and more. Dr. Cowley also answers the eternal question: coffee or tea?(The answer might surprise you!)
