Faculty and Academic Development plans, implements, and evaluates a wide array of workshops and related events each year. Topics for the workshops are derived from a variety of data: state and national trends in higher education, local issues and needs, evaluations from previous workshops, and conversations with faculty. While some workshops feature regionally or nationally renowned speakers, Appalachian faculty members with special interest or expertise in the topic facilitate most of the workshops. Our workshops are open to all full- and part-time faculty members.
