Scholarship
The Center for Faculty Development (CFD) seeks help the Faculty at Â鶹ÊÓƵ University achieve scholarship, pursue traditional advancement within your discipline, and conduct and disseminate their scholarship.
Initiatives
Fall and Winter Workshops
At the beginning of the fall and spring semesters faculty participate in an extended development opportunity that includes either departmental and interdepartmental dialogue on current topics or concurrent sessions offered by faculty colleagues and campus leaders.
In the Academy
Multiple sessions are offered each semester for all faculty regarding important aspects of professional advancement, grant opportunities, and research leave opportunities.
Faculty Dialogue Groups
Believing that iron sharpens iron, faculty facilitate discussions over lunch on selected books or topics of interest in teaching, scholarship, and the Christian faith and practice.

This is the inaugural edition of Scholarship Definitions and Expectations for Â鶹ÊÓƵ Faculty to all departments and faculty.
