Faculty Success

Faculty are central to the University’s mission. We recognize the lasting impact faculty have on our students. We are committed to fostering an academic environment where faculty can thrive, where expectations are transparent, and contributions are valued. Our support systems encourage innovation, mentorship, and enduring academic impact.

The Office of the Provost works in partnership with deans to provide the structures that support faculty success, including high-quality academic environments, collaborative academic communities, meaningful opportunities for innovation and scholarship, and clear, consistent academic processes. These systems exist to support and promote faculty work while ensuring accountability to students, professions, and the public. By investing in faculty, we strengthen our students, our graduates, and the communities they will serve for life.

Through shared leadership and continuous improvement, we strengthen the academic enterprise so faculty can focus on what matters most: educating, discovering, mentoring, and leading.
