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 the 13 Schools and  Colleges as well as to initiate programs and activities to support faculty in their multiple responsibilities of teaching, research, and service.  The Office will also provide guidance with career advancement and leadership development.  

A University wide Faculty Development Leads Committee was established to ensure that there is regular input from faculty on University sponsored faculty development initiatives, to encourage collaboration across Schools and Colleges, develop mentoring programs, as well as a way to maintain an accurate and current listing of all faculty development activities occurring in Schools and Colleges on the Faculty Development website. This committee is composed of faculty representatives from 12 Schools and Colleges, Human Resources, CETLA, Faculty Senate, University Libraries, and the Office of Research.
