Supporting Faculty

A Dependable Resource for Academic Leaders Who Work with Faculty.

As an academic leader, you understand better than anyone that faculty are the face of the college. However, you may have received little or even no formal training on effectively working with and leading faculty. Instead, you have had to learn on the job and rely on your intuition.

You are not alone.
