The Faculty Development Office (FDO) at UPEI is growing! As part of this expansion, the FDO is developing new programs and services, for example: formalizing the Teaching Partners program into a Teaching Mentoring fellowship; developing a Peer Consultants program in each Faculty and School; establishing Curriculum Specialist consultants for consultation around particular growing needs and interests at UPEI; collaborating with E-Learning to expand e-teaching and learning initiatives. 

The FDO will also expand assistance in preparing tenure and promotion files, teaching and research dossiers, grant applications, and award nominations, while developing reading and research groups and other programs around other issues related to faculty development across their career span. 

A call for colleagues interested in serving on the Director's Steering Committee—with a commitment to serve for two years, to attend all meetings, and to take an active part in the planning and execution of new initiatives. The FDO also seeks colleagues (from every Faculty) interested in being peer consultants and curriculum specialists, as well as colleagues interested in e-teaching and learning concerns.
