About the Center
The Center for Faculty Development exists to support faculty in their pursuit of the University's mission. To this end, the CFD:
- assists faculty in becoming excellent teachers and creative and fruitful contributors to their disciplines;
- equips faculty for potential advancement into positions of leadership; and
- encourages faculty as they seek to know and love God and see their teaching, scholarship, creative work, and service as part of their Christian calling to the academic world.
The Center conducts the new faculty orientation program (Fresh Start), the new faculty mentoring program (Mentor Network) and continual training for all faculty (In the Academy). The Center also sponsors the Newell Innovative Teaching Awards and the Teagle Grant Awards for innovative teaching and scholarship. Twice a year the Center hosts an integration of faith and learning collegium for faculty to learn how to think Christianly about their disciplines and hosts two integration of faith chapel speakers each year.
