Faculty Development

Support for Research, Scholarship, and Creativity Activity

Faculty who are active scholars, engaged in their disciplinary fields, and aware of the ongoing expansion of knowledge within their academic areas fulfill an important part of their professional development and responsibility. Scholars who actively teach and reflect upon their teaching will bring into their research, scholarly, and creative endeavors the curiosity and insights that arise within the classroom and helps to foster within students a lifelong love of learning. The University and the individual colleges both offer several funding opportunities that assist faculty in their research, scholarship, and creative work, and their curriculum and pedagogy enhancement.
