2009 Theme Enriching Professional Development
Through Collaboration

• Faculty members often find themselves working
  alone as they address the many demands of
  professional life. This isolation is at times
  necessary however, faculty life can also be
  enriched through collaborative efforts, as well.
  This year, the Faculty Professional Development
  Committee (FPDC), its subcommittees, and its
  Center will make a special effort to provide
  professional development opportunities that
  encourage faculty to engage in collaborative
  efforts related to teaching, scholarship,
  service, and grant development. Please join us
  and your fellow faculty members as we work
  together toward the goal of Enriching
  Professional Development Through Collaboration."
