Faculty Research & Development Committee (FR&DC)

FR&DC serves as a vehicle to support and encourage faculty scholarly endeavors leading to presentation at regional and national conferences and publications.

The charge for the Committee is to develop a strategy for this scholarly research initiative:

  • Determine how to support faculty in their research;
  • Seek ways to institutionalize this effort;
  • Determine what kind of support is needed;
  • Develop methods to track the outcomes of the initiative;
  • Discover the kinds of expertise our faculty members already possess that can be utilized on a local and national level.
