The Office of Faculty Excellence
The Office of Faculty Excellence (OFE) is committed to supporting faculty at the 成人AV视频 in developing and advancing their academic careers. We want to support you at each stage from your first day on campus at the New Faculty Orientation, publishing your first article, earning tenure, to learning to communicate effectively as a leader at our institution. We believe that promoting faculty development will enrich the educational experience of students, encourage a culture of innovation, and support the retention of quality faculty by fostering an engaged and supportive work environment.
Throughout the year, we host workshops, conversations, trainings, communities of practice, and programs in partnership with the Carpenter Library, the Center for Instruction & Research Technology (CIRT), the Office of Undergraduate Research, Student Success, the International Center, Marketing and Communications, and other 成人AV视频 partners.
Additionally, we support faculty through the High Impact Practice (HIP) grants to use research-backed strategies for teaching and learning that lead to increased retention, completion, and better learning outcomes for students. The Faculty Fellows program collaborates with faculty with specific expertise to provide professional development opportunities for faculty across all colleges.
Most importantly, we want to hear from you. If you have an idea or suggestion on how to improve faculty teaching, scholarship, or overall well-being, please reach out.
