Three Summer Events for Faculty
The Faculty Development Center will be offering three different
institutes or academies for faculty this summer, focusing on technology,
distance education, and research grants. Space is limited for these
workshops, as described below. We are charging fees that cover our
costs for reproducing materials and supplies. Faculty are encouraged
to bring their own lunches (summer food choices on campus are really
limited!!).All faculty are eligible, including full and part-time
instructors.

2. Summer Distance
Learning Academy |

|
- Limited to 20 full time faculty
- Two weeks: June 23rd through July 3rd
- At the end of this two week academy, faculty members will
have all the information they need to create a complete
online distance learning course. The two week academy covers
each step of the design process with faculty using their
own course materials as content to develop an on-line course.
For some faculty members, the two-week session will be sufficient
to create a course ready to go for the Fall semester.

3. Summer Research
Grant Academy |

|
- Limited to 20 full-time faculty
- One week, July 7th through 11th
- At the end of this Academy, participants will have a draft
of a grant proposal to submit to a funding organization.
Participants will learn about pre and post award procedures,
copyright and patent policies, compliance issues, and resources
and services. Participants will receive individualized assistance
in identifying funding resources and in preparation of proposals.

All three events are very “hands-on” with concrete
products as the end result. Most sessions take place in the Faculty
Development Center (PLS 44). If you are interested in participating,
please contact Dr. Sandra
