Professional Development for Non-Tenure-Track Faculty at Texas State University

Texas State University (TXST) has earned a “R2: Doctoral Universities- High research activities” Carnegie Classification and continues to follow a committed path towards becoming a premiere research institution. As a result of the school’s shifting focus, the Office of the Provost and VP for Academic Affairs created a full-time position in the Faculty Development office to support the professional development of faculty, with an emphasis on the career development of tenure-track faculty. In recognition of the needs of NTTF, the director is now expanding the professional development programs available to faculty in order to to inspire leadership, collegiality, teaching, research, and creativity using an equity-minded approach.
