Faculty Development

Salem State University offers resources for faculty to promote scholarly research, innovative teaching and healthy living. The resources may be web-based or academic departments and programs such as those listed below. We encourage all faculty to get involved, participate in the workshops and programs that interest you and share your areas of expertise and passion with your colleagues.
