The UT School of Architecture is pleased to announce three new faculty promotions. Effective September 1, 2021, Nerea Feliz is now an Associate Professor with tenure in Interior Design, Alex Karner was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in Community & Regional Planning, and Bjørn Sletto is now a Full Professor of Community & Regional Planning.

Faculty at the School of Architecture are innovating and creating new knowledge while preparing our students to be tomorrow’s leaders and problem solvers. The promotion and tenure process provides a thorough and objective review of the substance and merits of each faculty member’s case. We recently caught up with Nerea, Alex, and Bjørn to learn more about their teaching and research, and to highlight the great work they are doing for our students, our school, and society at large.
