1.6 WHO IS THE FACULTY DEVELOPMENT TEAM?

The Office of Faculty Development

Can you image what would happen if all faculty at CSUN loved their jobs? In Faculty Development, we are motivated to create space and opportunities where all faculty can fall in love with their work and at the same time, serve our students. To better understand our office, check out our mission statement:

Faculty Development provides relevant and thought-provoking programming to support all faculty in their teaching, scholarship, service, and leadership journeys. Our programming and partnerships are informed by equity-mindedness, technology-enriched best practices, and data-informed inquiry. We seek a supportive culture of shared power that attunes with the well-being and success of both faculty and students.

It is an exciting time for our office and we encourage you to read our monthly newsletter where we make important announcements and invite you to our programs, some of which include stipends and grants. Check out our August newsletter which highlights our upcoming Fall programming.

In general, there are numerous pathways in which we hope to engage with you, including:
