The Faculty Resource Center connects faculty and staff members with resources to enhance teaching, research, classroom assessment, advising, technology use, grant-seeking, department chair work, and other relevant resources to enhance their work at the university. The Center for Attention, Learning, and Memory (CALM) works closely with the FRC to provide services and resources.

How We Are Responding to the Great Colleges To Work For Survey

We are carefully reviewing the survey results that were released after the August 2023 Convocation. 

Initial action plans have been developed to quickly respond by rolling out additional workshops to address some of the needs. Additional informational materials are under development and will be posted by midsemester. 

The Faculty Excellence Committee, a Faculty Senate committee that also advises the center, will provide further feedback and ideas.

Finally, a series of surveys will be conducted this year to learn more about what you would like to see from the Center. When you receive a survey invitation, please take a few minutes to provide your input.

The Center is here to serve you, our valued faculty and staff. Please let us know how we can best do so! You do not need to wait for a survey--any time you have an idea, please let us know at https://sbu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_agfuAWVlTcYLNOu
