Concordia College

General Faculty Development

The College supports the following general faculty development programs:

Summer Workshops:

Each year, a variety of summer faculty workshops are offered to provide opportunities for professional growth. Topics are announced in April; participants receive daily stipends for attendance.  For information, please contact Laura Hoverson (x3257) in Academic Affairs.

Full time, continuing faculty members are eligible to receive an individual allotment up to $1,000 annually, based on FTE.  For faculty receiving the full amount, the distribution will be $550 for travel expenses and $450 for non-travel expenses. Faculty with an FTE between .5 and up to 1.0 will receive a prorated amount based on the FTE.

There is a two-year maximum accrual of $2,000. If the maximum is reached, no additional funds beyond the maximum are added to the account.  Faculty not returning to Concordia will have until the end of their last semester to use any funds remaining in their account.

• Individual faculty development funds may not be used to purchase computers or PDAs, etc.  Software purchases should be made through the Concordia ITS department.

• All receipts (including online purchases) must show the amount that has been paid, a balance of $0 owed, and/or the method of payment. If you do not receive a receipt that shows this information, a copy of your canceled check or credit card statement may be used.

• To request a reimbursement from your individual faculty development account, complete and sign the reimbursement form and return with receipts to Shanda Schmidt (x4344) in the Office of Academic Affairs.
