Call for FLC Proposals
Faculty Learning Communities (Academic Year 2026-27)
The Office of the Provost is now accepting Faculty Learning Community (FLC) proposals for the 2026-27 academic year. FLCs are active, yearlong faculty development experiences that bring together multidisciplinary groups of 8-12 members for structured, collaborative learning and scholarship.
Eligibility and Participation
- FLCs are open to full-time and part-time faculty (including adjunct and contractual faculty), graduate students, and staff.
- Meetings typically occur twice a month, though frequency may vary by group.
- At least one faculty member must serve as facilitator; anyone from the campus community may participate as a facilitator or member.
- New and returning FLCs are encouraged to apply. Separate scoring rubrics for each category are available on the FLC Scoring Rubric Excel sheet.
Expected Outcomes
Each FLC will produce a group outcome such as a conference presentation, journal article, or curriculum development and submit a final report at the conclusion of the funding period.
Proposal Submission
- The FLC proposal process has been updated for 2026–27. The separate proposal and budget forms have been combined into a single Microsoft Form, reducing the number of documents you need to complete and supporting accessible, streamlined submission.
- Budget not to exceed $1,250 (final awards may be modified based on budgetary considerations).
- Members of the Faculty Development Committee and the Center for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence will evaluate proposals and budget requests.
- Deadline: Friday, May 15, 2026
