Senior Lecturer Michael D. Scott is one of four faculty members at The University of Texas at Austin selected to hold a Dads' Association Centennial Teaching Fellowship during the 2011-12 fall semester.

The award reflects the recipients' teaching excellence and commitment and an acknowledgment of the many contributions they have made to the undergraduate experience for students at the university. Recipients of the award will receive a $3,500 honorarium.

Dads' Association Centennial Teaching Fellowships were established by the University of Texas System Board of Regents in 1983 with funds raised by the university's Dads' Association and matching funds under the Centennial Teachers and Scholars Program. Selection of faculty members appointed as Dads' Association Centennial Teaching Fellows is based upon recommendations from the deans of colleges and schools offering courses for freshman undergraduates.
