Meet Our Team
Denbo Center Staff
The Denbo Center prides itself on a staff who are committed to promoting humanistic inquiry in its many forms. The center’s faculty director works closely with the faculty associate director and the center’s full-time communications & marketing coordinator to coordinate the center’s programs and research agendas. Affiliated staff from the Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Development (ORIED) and UT Libraries provide further research-related support, while UT’s College of Arts & Sciences financial team helps manage the administrative needs of the center.
