UT Dallas Faculty Author Reception Guidelines

The Faculty Author Reception recognizes qualifying works of UT Dallas faculty, students and staff published on paper or electronically. Since 2006, the Dean of the Eugene McDermott Library and the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost have organized and sponsored an event to celebrate the publishing contributions of our creative, distinguished, and dedicated faculty. Occasionally, a student or staff member will produce a published work that is also recognized at the reception.

Annual Reception

The two-hour event is scheduled in the spring in the McDermott Suite on the fourth level of the library.
