Faculty Development
After the recruitment and onboarding stages of the journey, Clemson Faculty will find many opportunities and resources for successfully navigating requirements and individual career goals. Supporting the “development” of our faculty takes on many meanings that often depend on context. On this page, faculty and others will find links to events, entities, projects, and programs that foster faculty development. Please note the guide below is not exhaustive but introduces the multiple University offices and entities, including but not limited to Faculty Affairs, that strive to provide extensive support in processes and programs associated with the faculty development journey.
At all stages of the faculty career journey, information that helps faculty to enhance, report, and reflect on teaching and research/scholarship/creative activity is relevant. Below are some examples of resources that are most intuitive. If there are resources that you know of or would like to see presented here, please let us know.
