Faculty

Commitment to faculty is a fundamental AAC&U value. AAC&U works to help faculty teach effectively in an increasingly diverse classroom environment, adapt the scholarship of learning to their own disciplines, and support institution-wide planning for educational effectiveness. AAC&U has also worked for over a decade on transforming the ways in which future college faculty prepare for careers in academia.
