Our Mission

The Faculty Development Center supports UMBC faculty in their teaching, research, creative activity, and service. It promotes initiatives that improve undergraduate and graduate education—initiatives that value teaching as well as research and that help to link the two. It also serves to enhance faculty members' lives during all phases of their careers by connecting faculty with resources for innovation and renewal.

All consultation services provided faculty are confidential and are not used by administrators or committees in making personnel decisions.
