The primary mission of the Office of Faculty Affairs and Leadership Development is to support the development of our faculty members and to provide resources to ensure their academic success. We are deeply committed to assisting our faculty navigate the ins and outs of what it means to be a faculty member, including how to prepare for the appointments, promotion, and tenure (APT) process. While all faculty members are responsible for their career success, it is expected that their Chair, Division Chief, and another specifically designated senior faculty member will mentor them toward promotion.
