Faculty Development
The Office of Undergraduate Education supports faculty development
through an annual University-wide grant competition. This year the
organization of the program was modified. In addition to funding
individual projects on teaching and learning, CUNY's Office of Academic
Affairs is supporting a year-long University Seminar for the 15 faculty
funded through the program. The aim of the seminar is to create a
supportive learning environment where funded faculty can explore the
range of scholarly research in this field while advancing their own
research. The Office also organizes a professional education series in
conjunction with the WAC/WID project, and sponsors the General Education conference each May.
