Welcome to the Faculty Centers Project. Here you will find information about the Project, its members, resources already available to faculty and students on the F&M campus, the progress of the Faculty Centers Advisory Committee, several example centers at liberal arts colleges across the country, and our past and upcoming events on campus. Our goal is to use this webpage as a way to elicit feedback from the community about what model would best serve F&M. As you are browsing through these pages and have thoughts about the center, please send them to either Andrea Lommen (alommen@fandm.edu) or Tim Jackson (tjackson@fandm.edu).

For example, at the Governance Task Force luncheon this week, it was noted that a properly configured Faculty Center could relieve some pressure on the Provost’s Office by taking on responsibility for some of the “formative” faculty development activities. Join us for snacks and drinks as we discuss what our Faculty Center might be…
