Academic Excellence
The Office of the Provost is committed to supporting faculty success in a culture of inclusive excellence grounded by the pillars of teaching, leadership, mentorship, and scholarship and creative practice. Our goal is to have a transformative impact on faculty development across the stages of their careers and provide support for faculty development and excellence for all faculty.
Teaching
The University of Oregon will provide a high-standard of teaching development, evaluation, and reward in order to create an inclusive, engaged, and research-informed culture that helps shape the student experience at UO.
Leadership
The university is developing faculty and administrators who feel empowered to address complex challenges and work collaboratively to cultivate more equitable environments across (and beyond) campus.
Mentorship
The university supports faculty as they build their network of mentors, while simultaneously developing their own skills as a responsive, reciprocal and adaptive mentor, coach, sponsor, or advisor of students and junior faculty.
Scholarship and Creative Practice
The university supports faculty throughout their discovery and creative activity process with writing circles and the UO New Faculty Success program, as well as technical support for grant development and submission.
