The Provost’s Fund for Faculty Excellence will elevate and support our faculty in their teaching and research. A robust faculty development fund will give our leadership more flexibility to respond to new and overlooked areas of growth. Designed to be flexible and responsive to the current and future needs of faculty, this critical support will be given directly to faculty members to enable the pursuit of entrepreneurial projects, fuel research projects that provide opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in the research process, and give faculty flexible funds to respond to student initiatives, among other support.
Faculty whose path has been untraditional can struggle to receive external support, even while being fiercely devoted to their teaching. An investment in this fund will give Seattle University leadership more capacity to react quickly and thoughtfully to the opportunities that present themselves.
