Faculty

There are numerous resources available to support faculty at UMaine in teaching, research and service. UMaine’s institutional NCFDD membership provides faculty with access to a range of training resources tailored to their career stage. In addition to workshops, trainings, and related professional development opportunities offered by the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL), the Office of Research Development (ORD), and UMaine Libraries, NCFDD mini-courses and UMaine’s faculty development library may prove useful. Information about Promotion-and-Tenure processes and procedures, including recent  videos and slides (2022), is available here.
