Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning Advisory Council
Reports to the Office of the Provost
Purpose: Support the mission of the FCTL by providing:
- Insight into faculty teaching and learning development needs.
- Feedback on FCTL conferences and events.
- Peer review services for competitive faculty programs such as the FCTL Teaching Excellence Awards, Teaching and Learning Grants, and Showcase on Teaching and Learning proposals.
Advisory Council members serve as faculty liaisons between their respective colleges and the FCTL by seeking input from colleagues and providing updates to their college.
Membership: The FCTL Advisory Council includes a dean-appointed faculty representative from each college. Faculty appointments are for two-year terms. To promote diversity in representation, colleges are encouraged to rotate the appointment among different ranks with each new term. Deans, Associate Deans, School Directors, and Provost Fellows are not eligible to serve.
