Dedicated teachers and actively engaged scholars make a positive and lasting difference in students' lives. At UNF, we foster excellence in our faculty through a wide range of resources. The Office of Sponsored Research, the Faculty Development Center, competitive summer research grants, faculty colloquia and other initiatives are available to faculty in each of the university's five colleges and the Division of Continuing Education. The effectiveness of our efforts is evident in our faculty's quality. Nearly all of UNF s tenured and tenure-track faculty hold Ph.D.s or the appropriate terminal degrees in their disciplines.
Faculty are the key to high quality programs.
Professorships will promote quality and excellence throughout the University. To maintain and build upon our exceptional faculty, we must improve our ability to attract the best candidates in an extremely competitive job market. At the same time, each of our colleges will also benefit from endowments to support lectureships, faculty and student research, and other forms of learning enrichment. In these ways, Access to Excellence will make the difference between a strong and a truly superior educational experience.
