As Provost Fellow for Writing, Dr. Franklin will focus on four areas:
Dr. Franklin states: “As faculty, we all must write, and we want to improve our writing as well as that of our students. I'm looking forward to developing a dialogue about writing in all academic disciplines, and I'm excited for the chance to look at successful writing practices used at our university and other universities.” |

As Provost Fellow for Faculty Development, Julie Masterson will plan and imple ment a program of developmental activities for untenured faculty. She will take primary responsibility for planning the new faculty orientation at the beginning of the academic year and then develop one to two activities per month focused on topics such as grant preparation, beginning and conducting a research program, directing student research, integrating teaching-research-service activities, dealing with student behavioral issues, faculty governance, protection of human subjects and animals in research, etc. Dr. Masterson will work with the deans, department heads, and faculty members themselves to determine needs and the best mechanisms to meet these needs. “Beginning an academic career is thrilling, but can also be daunting. Our goals for this program are not only to provide good advice and direction for managing the first few years, but also to establish a sense of community for our new faculty members. We want them to be both successful in their academic endeavors and become committed to the unique mission and strengths of Missouri State University.” |
