The Faculty Development Committee, consisting of elected faculty members, meets quarterly to review applications and make funding decisions. The Faculty Development Committee is a sub-committee of the Instructional Council. Each year, $18,500 is available for the committee to disperse, with $2,500 set aside specifically for adjunct faculty. 

The Faculty Development Committee is responsible for managing the faculty development fund in order to promote activities that enhance the professional growth of the faculty, and thus improve the quality of learning and services.
