I hope to see you there.<\/p>\n<p>Four UTC faculty members were nominees this year for the UT System President\u2019s Awards: Dr. Henry Spratt from Biology, Geology and Environmental Science; Dr. Mina Sartipi from Computer Science and Engineering and the SimCenter; Nikolasa Tejero from Performing Arts; and Laurie Melnik from the Southeast Center for Education in the Arts. Congratulations to each of them; their commitment to UTC is integral to our ongoing goal of providing a quality education and supportive community for our students.<\/p>\n<p>The redesign of Martin Luther King Boulevard will continue for about a month, so take that into consideration when coming to campus. Work is scheduled in different phases and is expected to be completed by mid-April.
