The purpose of this fund is primarily to assist faculty in their efforts to improve instruction and to develop instruction at the College. The request must reflect a need for the time to develop materials or for other professional activities related to instruction. Application must include target dates for completion, along with evidence to justify funding. The Fund will be administered by the Faculty Center for Teaching Excellence.
Awards are available only to full-time, contract faculty.
Exceptions may be made for special projects. Applications are due prior to the third Tuesday of each month during the fall and spring semesters. Applications submitted May through August will be considered as quickly as possible by the committee. Funds may be approved if the course is required by the department and is to the distinct benefit of the College. Faculty who disagree with the Committee decision on their application may appeal to the Faculty Senate Faculty Development Committee to explain or further justify and support their applications for funding approval or increased funding.
