Ian Caine is one of four UTSA faculty members to receive the 2017 Regents' Outstanding Teaching Award (ROTA) from The University of Texas System. Professor Caine, along with Hector R. Aguilar (Department of Chemistry), Jill Fleuriet (Department of Anthropology), and Patricia Sánchez (Department of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies) is among 56 educators from the UT System's 14 institutions being honored with this esteemed award. Each of the honorees will receive an unrestricted check for $25,000 at a ceremony in Austin on August 23.
The UT Board of Regents established the ROTA program in 2008 as a way to honor faculty who achieve sustained excellence in undergraduate teaching.
