Faculty and Student Engagement

Regular faculty engagement is essential for creating a responsive, high-touch learning environment that directly boosts student retention and academic success. To maintain this standard, the Teaching and Learning Department expects all student inquiries to receive a response within 48 hours, ensuring learners feel supported and valued throughout their courses. In online and hybrid environments, this commitment requires daily faculty involvement to bridge physical distance, sustain momentum, and foster an active virtual community. Complementing this direct student outreach, faculty are also required to keep their Google Calendars current, which streamlines cross-departmental collaboration and enhances overall proficiency when scheduling College meetings.

Beyond the classroom, faculty serve as our most crucial program advocates. To support recruitment and growth, faculty are expected to actively participate in new student orientations and high school career events to promote their respective programs. Future students consistently seek opportunities to connect directly with the faculty members who will guide their education. Ongoing program promotion and informal marketing within local communities yield significant dividends, helping build strong community connections and driving enrollment.

Together, these expectations cultivate a culture of accessibility, accountability, and seamless communication across the entire institution.
