About

Faculty development staff

The Office of Faculty Success includes the Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence, Instructional Design, the Center for Community Engaged Learning, and Faculty Services. We work together to support faculty in developing as instructors, designing their courses, incorporating community engagement in their work, and using learning technologies in face-to-face and online instruction.

Stay connected with us through our newsletter! Our newsletter gets you the most up-to-date information about our programming, professional development opportunities, new trainings, funding opportunities, learning technology updates, higher education tips, and more. Our newsletter is bimonthly, so you won't be inundated with emails (at least from us).
