In partnership with the Provost and President's Office, Faculty Development facilitates a tenure and promotion info session for early-career faculty, who recently joined SCU. Invitations to attend are usually sent out late winter or early spring. Check out the recording if you missed the session or would like more information!

Every year, we welcome many lecturers to SCU across all disciplines. We are grateful you chose to share your academic and industry knowledge with our students and collegial community. We know that getting to know SCU in a short time can be difficult. In partnership with Faculty Affairs, we've compiled the resources to help you get a jump start at navigating SCU and your new teaching appointment. Check out the slides from this fall's session.
