CCS Professional Development Series
The CCS Professional Development Series is held monthly during the academic semester, each talk is a one-hour, peer-to-peer discussion to help faculty and staff grow and increase awareness of fellow faculty practices. Open to faculty and staff, these engaging talks cover a range of topics, from curriculum spotlights to intellectual property rights. Each talk is organized around a central theme and will feature CCS faculty and staff discussing how they implement the topic in their own teaching and creative practices. These talks are designed to allow the CCS community to grow professionally while building camaraderie.

Each year, Academic Affairs holds an event called Faculty Day of Training in an effort to discuss topics that are of interest to all CCS faculty members. For fall 2021, the topics were on health and wellness of students and faculty, Gen-X students, constructive critiques, and strategies to make your course more effective.
