Faculty Development Day
Faculty Development Day is a semi-annual event sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs, allowing faculty to step away from their busy schedules, enhance their skills, and be students for the day. These events offer an opportunity to explore effective practices and provide faculty with concrete ideas they can incorporate into their teaching, research, and creative activities. It’s one way we continue to reinvest in our faculty’s success and provide resources to build community and enhance faculty life at New York Tech.
