Program Review
Academic program review is a primary means to maintain and improve program quality at the University of Oregon. In addition to academic assessment, those units undergoing review are asked to address issues surrounding equity and inclusion in their self-study reports. As a result, academic units are able to realize many benefits from a thorough review including an improved source of information to help guide decisions on strategic priorities.
Orientation and Professional Development
Orientation and professional development opportunities are available each year for new faculty. Academic Affairs hosts a number of workshops for faculty, department heads, and deans throughout the academic year on a variety of topics. Find the list of regular workshop offerings on the Office of Provost website.
