Faculty Advisory Committee

All books published by Texas A&M University Press go through a thorough review and approval process, requiring staff review, peer review, and a vote by the Faculty Advisory Committee. The committee is composed of tenured faculty members from a wide range of departments, representing both the publishing focuses of the press and the wider scholarly expertise of the faculty. Members are appointed by the Provost.
