FACE

FACULTY ASSOCIATES FOR CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT

 

The Faculty Associates for Campus Engagement (FACE) program is a faculty and professional learning community program designed to provide peer mentorship and collaboration opportunities for faculty and staff. Specifically, FACE enables participants to gain cross-disciplinary connections, scholarly advice, and insights from experienced faculty and staff members.

FACE is designed to help match faculty and staff members’ expertise with colleagues’ interests. The learning community experience is an opportunity to connect with colleagues about topics in teaching, learning, scholarship, and engagement and to think collaboratively about students and practice.

FACE currently uses two approaches for collaboration and mentorship:

Faculty Groups are lead by Associates who facilitate 6-15 faculty and staff members to develop a topic and related activities of interest during the semester. Groups meet as often as Associates or the group feels appropriate. Together, each group creates a community to learn about and support its topic. This year, topics include:
• Boyer Scholarship Model
• Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)
• Qualitative Research
• First-Year Faculty
• Distinguished Professors
• Readers’ Roundtable(s)
• Quantitative Analysis
• Research in the Classroom
• Leadership
• Service Learning

• Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)
• Engagement/Boyer Model
• Team-Based Learning
