Committee+Charge


 * Committee Charge from Provost Winston Langley:**

= = === One goal in the campus strategic plan is to “attract, develop, and sustain highly effective faculty.” A related objective is to institute “a career-span, institution-wide faculty development and mentoring program.” I seek your recommendations for how to conceive, structure, and implement such a program so as to provide the best possible support for our faculty as they strive for excellence in their teaching, research, and service roles. ===

1. Summarize the most useful and relevant literature on faculty development and mentoring.
=== 2. Identify existing campus resources, e.g., the Center for Improvement of Teaching, departmental and collegiate mentoring programs, etc., and make recommendations about how they might inform or be incorporated into the program. ===

4. Indicate which program elements should be based in the departments, in the colleges, or centrally.
=== 5. Suggest faculty development and mentoring activities for faculty at various stages in their careers, e.g., new faculty holding first academic appointments; other junior faculty; senior faculty, including those who are participating in a Periodic Multi-Year Review; and part-time faculty. Include activities related to all three spheres of faculty responsibility: teaching, research, and service. ===
