Faculty Learning Communities (FLC) are cross-disciplinary groups engaged in an active, collaborative, year-long program, structured to provide encouragement, support, and reflection. Any tenured, tenured-track, or special purpose faculty member is eligible to participate.

Each participant will receive a $500 stipend for full participation in the program, payable in two installments at the end of each semester upon completion of FLC goals and submission of FLC report. To register, see page one.
