It’s important for all of us to be lifelong learners and to instill that understanding in our students. Whatever your discipline, it is changing, and in some disciplines and professions, the pace of change is rapid. It is incumbent on all of us to stay abreast of the latest developments in our field and to help our students understand how they can prepare themselves for the career challenges they will inevitably face.

You must also complete a Faculty Development Funding Application aligning IDP with the professional development activity the applicant is choosing to attend. For timely funding to occur, the application should be submitted to the Adjunct Faculty Support Program Office (SE201) two months prior to the registration deadline for the event or the start of the activity. Upon completion of the professional development activity a report summarizing the extent to which the activity addressed the applicant’s IDP goals must be submitted.
