South Texas College of Law Houston recently honored 15 faculty members with awards recognizing outstanding contributions in the areas of scholarship, service, and teaching.
Honors for these areas of excellence are given each year. The fall 2024 awards were presented by Amanda Peters, associate dean for faculty and professor of law.
