Welcome to Faculty Affairs
The success of our University is closely connected to the remarkable quality and commitment of its faculty. Faculty Affairs, in the Office of the Provost at Clemson University, provides comprehensive support for Clemson faculty during all stages of their academic career in the areas of teaching, research, personnel matters, professional development, and service endeavors. In the organizational structure of Faculty Affairs and under the leadership of the Senior Associate Provost, we proudly provide services and opportunities for faculty through our Offices of Faculty Success and Operations team and collaborations with the University and external partners.
Faculty Affairs Operations Team
The Faculty Affairs Operations Team provides administrative support and seeks to foster efficiency, collaboration, and clarity as faculty and academic leaders navigate processes and programs related to faculty success. Whether you are trying to add data to Faculty Success (a product of Watermark™), find a form or report, or learn about professional development programming, connect with us if you need assistance.
Office of Faculty Advancement
The Office of Faculty Advancement cultivates and implements research-informed programs that support faculty. This Office primarily focuses on two areas: 1) Faculty Mentoring and 2) Faculty Reviews. Their website includes information about best practices in these two areas as well as additional resources (e.g., writing groups, writing retreats, book clubs, mentoring program templates and training materials, COACHE survey results with follow-up information, and more).
Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation
The Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation provides a wide variety of resources to assist faculty in achieving their objectives for personal milestones as an educator at Clemson University and in delivering student experiences consistent with the institution’s mission, values, and strategic plan. OTEI’s website and newsletters deliver information regarding resources (e.g., the annually updated teaching resource guide, syllabi templates/Simple Syllabus, AI tools), how to request consultation with OTEI’s staff, and what events and programs are on deck.
