Faculty Development
Supporting Faculty to Achieve Their Potential
Butler University faculty are committed to academic excellence; they offer students a challenging and supportive education; they practice service to the campus and in the world; and they cultivate an intellectual and social community.
The faculty development program supports faculty in achieving their own potential as teachers, scholars, researchers, and creative artists, and supports a faculty member's development as a thoughtful participant in the Butler community.
Faculty Resources
Through our Faculty Development program, resources are available covering assessment tools and course evaluations, peer-to-peer mentoring, and even a library of printed resource materials.
