The Agnes Williams Faculty Development Center is located in Room 105, of Burke Memorial Library, Spring Hill College. Our mission is to support the faculty in their efforts to provide a premier Jesuit liberal arts education, by providing them with the opportunities and means to participate in the scholarship of discovery, integration, application, and teaching. 

We work in partnership with Information Technology Services, and the Burke Memorial Library to support faculty in their development as teachers by designing, creating, and delivering faculty development programs that integrate innovative, effective, and appropriate teaching techniques and technologies into the college's instructional programs; as Scholars by supporting faculty efforts to secure external funding, organizing on-campus opportunities to present works-in-progress, and publicizing national and regional opportunities for presentation and publication; and as Colleagues by providing information and resources on subjects as various as trends in higher education, consensus-building in academic departments and faculty committees, opportunities for community service and service learning (in conjunction with the Foley Center for Community Service), etc. 

The Office of Institutional Research supports these efforts by making Faculty Activity Reports, the Faculty Manual, the results of the National Survey of Student Engagement, and similar materials available through its web site.

The Faculty development coordinator, librarians, and IT staff are available for faculty consultation. Click Burke Hours, above, for hours of operation.
