Overview
The Center for Faculty Development serves the faculty of Metro State by promoting all facets of their professional responsibilities, which include teaching and learning, professional development, service, and advising. The Center recognizes that individual faculty members bring different combinations of aptitudes and strengths to furthering the educational mission of Metro State. Our goal at the Center for Faculty Development is to work with faculty to strengthen their contributions to Metro State’s educational mission. Successful faculty are the foundation of excellence in higher education, and the resources and personnel of the Center for Faculty Development are committed to promoting their professional development as teachers, scholars, and leaders.
The Center for Faculty Development (CFD) accomplishes its mission through a variety of initiatives that include, but are not limited to, workshops on teaching and learning, faculty professional development conferences, new faculty mentoring, online learning workshops, and workshops and training for department chairs. The CFD is also available for one-on-one consulting for any faculty member who seeks input and assistance in any area of their professional lives. The CFD has a growing collection of resources and materials on the topic of faculty development, and if we do not have the expertise or materials to address individuals’ requests or needs, we will find them and make them available.
At the CFD, we welcome input from faculty with proposals for how the Center can further the educational mission of Metro State.
