2. Faculty Development Team
It is with tremendous pride that we present this annual update of the Faculty
Training and Development team and associated activities.
The Faculty Development team’s dedication to world class training and
student experience is second to none and our own development continues
with vigor.
Our team strongly believes that the key to student satisfaction and a quality
learning experience starts with stellar training, peer review, and corrective
mentoring as needed. We pursue these efforts daily and through our
thousands of points of contact in a given year .
The past year has been a time of growth, development, and new initiatives
along with the fine tuning of new and existing processes.

We remain committed to working tirelessly to represent this leadership
team and the University in such a way that makes us all proud.
I am extremely proud of our team and the efforts they put forth on a daily
basis. Our success as a team is tied directly to the individual contributions of
Dr. Brenda Bagwell, Nathan Braun, CherylAnn Farrell, Dr. Anne O’Bryan, and
Dr. Melanie Shaw and I commend them for their efforts.
