Office for Faculty Excellence

Support for your work as a faculty member

The Office for Faculty Excellence (OFE) connects faculty with opportunities, resources, and colleagues that support their work in teaching, research, and professional growth. We work with colleges and campus partners to make existing support easier to find and to develop programming in response to faculty needs.


WHAT THE OFFICE FOR FACULTY EXCELLENCE DOES

OFE focuses on practical support for faculty work across the university. We want to support faculty across the multiple facets of what it means to be a faculty member. 

  • Faculty Development
    Support for teaching, research, and professional growth across all career stages.
  • Resource Connection
    Helping faculty navigate and access the many resources already available across campus.
  • Facilitation and Coordination
    Working with colleges and campus partners to coordinate initiatives that support faculty success.
  • Community Building
    Creating opportunities for faculty to connect, collaborate, and share practices across disciplines.
  • New Faculty
    Find orientation, Faculty Foundations, and practical information for getting started at Louisiana Tech.

What's happening at OFE?

This year, OFE is focusing on new faculty support, teaching effectiveness, helping faculty navigate AI in teaching, and research and scholarly support. We are also continuing to build partnerships across campus so faculty can more easily find and use the resources available to them.

Connecting Faculty with Campus Support
Faculty support does not live in one office.

OFE works with colleges and campus partners to connect faculty with existing expertise, make resources easier to navigate, and coordinate efforts where working together makes sense.

Our key partners include Center for Instruction Technology (CIT), Prescott Memorial Library (PML), Division of Research, and Emergent Learning Research Institute (ELRI).

Have an Idea or See a Need?

OFE is continuing to learn from faculty as the office develops. If you see a faculty need, know of a resource others should be aware of, or have an idea for programming or partnership, we would like to hear from you.
