Office of Faculty Development
In fall 2015, the Office of Faculty Development was established in the Office of the Provost as a way to improve the coordination of faculty development activities across all of the Schools and Colleges as well as to initiate programs and activities to support faculty in their multiple responsibilities of teaching, research, publishing, and service.
