As an aid to increasing the general level of faculty support and also as a much needed reward to exemplary faculty, we have tried to build a reward system into the quality guidelines. Each year we offer a one day faculty conference with a lunch time awards ceremony. At the ceremony we recognize our exemplary faculty in front of their peers and attempt the thank them for all of the wonderful work they do all year. This is especially meaningful for our faculty as most of them are distant, so this is the one time of year they visit in person with their peers.
On a more day-to-day basis, we also pay a slightly higher stipend to faculty who met the requirements of the quality guidelines the previous term.
To support this activity faculty and staff have designed and offer a set of professional development workshops to assist faculty in meeting quality guidelines. These workshops are listed on our website at

Coaching by program chairs and faculty mentors has also become an integral part of communication plan.
