Faculty Development Committee

The general purpose of the Faculty Development Committee is to serve in an advisory capacity to the Dean, giving advice on policy matters, judging proposals under grant programs, and suggesting new ideas for future programs or structures.  The committee does not administer any program, preferring that this be done either by the Dean of the College, the Center for Innovation in the Liberal Arts (CILA), and/or the Director of Government and Foundation Relations, or any other administrator appointed for this purpose.
