Starting Strong

The Faculty Center kicked off the Fall Semester with two back to back events catered exclusively for our Georgia Southern faculty: New Faculty Orientation (NFO) and Professional Development Day (PD-Day).

On August 3rd, 2023, we hosted our annual NFO at the Williams Center, along with the presence of President Marrero, Dr. Karl Reiber, and an extensive list of panelists and presenters from multiple departments.

On August 4, 2023, we held our Fall 2023 PD-Day: Thriving in Academia at the Nessmith Ballroom. With over 150 participants, we offered faculty the opportunity to meet their peers, discuss challenges and strategies for professional growth, and socialize while hearing some motivational advice from our keynote speaker Dr. Raymona Lawrence.

It was a day to celebrate faculty, and to offer them a safe space to build connections for a successful academic career.

We are currently accepting proposals for our annual SoTL Commons Conference. Please click on the link for more information.

Don't forget to check out Georgia Southern's International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning - ijSoTL. Not only does it publish top research in SoTL, it also offers those interested in SoTL the opportunity to serve as reviewers and learn more about the field.

We would like to take the time to thank all our Georgia Southern faculty and staff who support the Faculty Center directly and indirectly. Special thank you to those who partner with us, and those who volunteer their time to serve on our events' panels. Our mission is to support our faculty, and as we strive to improve and expand our reach we acknowledge that we couldn't do so without you.
