Faculty and Staff
Student learning and growth is the reason we are all here. Students often look to us for the answers. These days, supporting student development requires not only expertise in our own area, it also requires knowledge about the unique challenges our students face, how and when to get involved, and what resources are available. FAU Thrive, in partnership with Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, offers faculty online and in-person training workshops, a FAU Mental Health Summit 8am-noon on October 18 and 1-5pm on October 26, 2020, and informational resources. Coming soon: Faculty Thrive Ally certification.
