New Faculty Scholars (NFS): This program (new in 2017) is a year-long, cohort based set of faculty development events and activities best suited for tenure-track and full time, long term instructional staff. The program will afford first and second-year faculty at South the chance to develop all aspects of their academic life - teaching, scholarship, service and civic engagement. The curriculum consists of a series of seminars framed by asynchronous online discussion. Guest speakers will span various divisions of the University. Enrollment will be through application only and will be limited due to space constraints. Those selected in NFS can use program completion in lieu of six hours of the New Faculty Development requirement.

Faculty Learning Communities Links to an external site.: A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) is a cross-disciplinary, small group of scholars who are interested in investigating and sharing resources on a particular theme in higher education. As a structured community of practice, each FLC will set shared, topic-specific goals for the academic year. Facilitated by faculty and/or ILC staff, yet also serving as a faculty lounge, this community is a place to talk about the teaching challenges as well as to collaborate on resources with fellow instructors. This program will start after Labor Day.
