About the Center for Faculty Excellence
The Center for Faculty Excellence has strong partnerships with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program, the Libraries, the Office of Sponsored Programs, the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, and Online Educaiton and Educational Technology (OEET).
As Butler’s programs expand to meet the needs of our community, the Center for Faculty Excellence will introduce current and future-oriented educational practices. The Center for Faculty Excellence will deliver a unified presence of services and resources to all instructors to:
- Increase coordination among member offices in joint strategic planning and programmatic efforts
- Improve efficiency through reduction or elimination of redundant services, resources, and efforts
- Proffer a “one-stop” shop for faculty excellence and development
The Center for Faculty Excellence’s primary goals are to:
- Expand into new, relevant professional development programming areas
- Connect systematically with related initiatives on campus
- Collaborate with faculty, staff, students, community members, and programs engaged in related forms of experiential, community-based teaching, learning, and scholarship, helping to strengthen and generate new models for effective curricular engagement across a range of venues (e.g., internships, undergraduate research, learning communities, etc.)
- Garner external funding in support of the teaching, learning, and scholarship activities associated with curricular engagement.
