OFD becomes part of the new Office for Faculty Excellence on July 1

Effective July 1, 2021, the Office of Faculty Development (OFD) and the Office of Faculty Affairs will merge to form the Office for Faculty Excellence. Our offices have worked closely together for many years, and this merger formalizes and strengthens that relationship.

The Office for Faculty Excellence will provide support and guidance to all NC State faculty, as we foster and facilitate professional success and growth. We will provide critical resources at all stages of a faculty member’s career, including enhancing faculty skills and practices through professional development programming, coordinating campus-wide development resources, providing support for the implementation and review of policies related to faculty employment and advancement, assisting faculty as they pursue honorific awards and celebrating faculty success through special events.

What does this mean for NC State faculty? Despite the new name and organizational structure, we will continue to provide all of the same services for which you have come to rely on OFD and Faculty Affairs.

Later this year, we will unveil an updated and unified web presence. Also, watch for an article with more information about our merger in the July edition of the Provost’s Newsletter.
