A wide variety of Faculty
Development resources are available for faculty at Wittenberg. Many
of these resources are described on this website. Other resources, including
Faculty Research Fund Board support, are described in your Faculty
Manual. The Faculty Development Board and its administrator are
always looking for ways to promote Faculty Development on campus. If
you have any suggestions or needs in this area, please contact the current
Faculty Development Administrator (tbuckman@wittenberg.edu).
