Rate My Professor Emmanuel Akwar

Prior to his current position, Akwar served as Lecturer III in the Department of Biology. His teaching portfolio features courses such as Biochemistry and General Physiology. He specializes in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and genetics. Akwar was selected as one of the inaugural members of UTSA's Advancing Next-Gen Faculty Leadership Fellows Program for the 2019-2020 cohort. This program placed him in the Office of Inclusive Excellence, where he collaborated with mentor Vice President Myron Anderson. Their joint efforts concentrated on the creation of tools and resources designed to increase cultural sensitivity and awareness throughout the UTSA campus. Particular attention was given to aspects of classroom management and the enhancement of faculty-student collaborations and interactions. Furthermore, a primary objective of Akwar's fellowship was the development of a dedicated website. This online resource is intended to provide information on the cultural norms that guide the different ethnic groups and countries of origin represented in the diverse UTSA community. Through these endeavors, Emmanuel Akwar continues to contribute to the academic environment at UTSA, particularly in promoting an inclusive setting for health science students and faculty.
