Standing Committees
Faculty members in each of UT Southwestern's schools carry on a strong tradition of service to their departments, school, and the University as a whole through their participation on various committees and task forces. Each school at UTSW has developed its own faculty committees to serve the specific needs of the students and faculty in that school.
Should you have a comment or request for additional information about Standing Committees, please refer to the related school's section for contact information.
