Welcome to the Office of Faculty Advancement at Clemson University. Our mission is to grow a culture at Clemson University where every faculty member is valued, empowered, and equipped both to advance their career and elevate their professional impact. Our office offers faculty access to development tools along with programming for individuals and faculty groups. Faculty are essential to achieving the many goals outlined in Clemson’s strategic plan.

Supporting Faculty at All Stages of Their Careers

Faculty Development

Whether you're feeling stagnant in your career or simply want to cultivate specific areas of your professional development, the Office of Faculty Advancement is here to help. In light of the University's new strategic plan, Clemson Elevate, we look forward to offering career mentoring for all Clemson faculty to help guide you along your chosen path. Since the needs of faculty vary between early and late career stages, this Office will initially focus on establishing support for mid-career faculty.

Best Practices in Faculty Review

Decision-making processes and systems supporting faculty evaluations are critical contributors of faculty success across career stages, opportunities, and spaces. Clemson University intends to work diligently and intentionally to employ principles and best practices in our systems and decision-making processes. Programs in this area focus on the evaluations of teaching effectiveness, goal-settings, annual reviews, as well as tenure-promotion-reappointment (TPR) processes. Supporting these goals, we've collected a variety of resources to empower you to achieve your full potential as an educator or researcher.
