What can I promote?

We invite you to share any of the following faculty opportunities:

• An EVENT that occurs at a specific date and time. 
• A PROGRAM, which is typically a series of events grouped together or an ongoing professional development experience (e.g., a self-paced course).
• A COMMITTEE, a short- or long-term group that works on a specific project, goal, or charge.
• An OPPORTUNITY, everything else (e.g., an application deadline, a new resource, or a service announcement).

Where will my opportunity be promoted?

By sharing and promoting opportunities through the Center for Faculty Development, we will advertise your opportunity through the following channels of your choosing:

1. Fac-post listserv: A required email communication channel for all faculty. Faculty can't opt out! Each opportunity has it's own communication to maximize visibility.
2. University Calendar: We will create the calendar event on your behalf.
3. Loyola News or Inside Loyola: We will work directly with UMC to advocate for the inclusion of faculty-focused content.
4. Center for Faculty Development Communications: While CFD will primarily use the first three channels for communicating with faculty as well, we will occasionally send out communications to targeted faculty audiences based on specific initiatives, such as New Faculty Orientation. We are happy to include relevant campus partner information in those communications. 

What happens after the opportunity ends?

The person listed as the main contact will receive a "Post-programming Reporting" survey that will ask them to report on different aspects, such as the number of participants and who participated. We aggregate the data collected to share with campus partners so that we can all learn about what works and how we can improve. For example, we can learn what days/times on which campuses tend to yield the highest participation rates for future planning. 

Each summer, we share with faculty a transcript of all the ways we know they participated in professional development and service so that they can be sure to include it in their annual review or promotion materials. We also ask them to complete an impact survey to reflect on what they learned and applied from these different opportunities. The results of the impact survey are shared with all participating campus partners.
