FRC Resources

About the FRC

 

The Faculty Resource Center (FRC) was created in 2016 as the result of a campus-wide task force facilitated by LSC-Montgomery Vice President of Instruction, Dr. James McGee, and comprised of faculty from each division on campus.

The mission of the Faculty Resource Center is to provide resources to inspire, sustain, and enrich the professional growth of all faculty.

The FRC is a part of the Academic Excellence (ACE) Division led by Dean Sarah Palacios-Wilhelm. English Professor Dr. Lori Hughes serves as Faculty Fellow for Professional Development.

There are three locations for faculty to access the Faculty Resource Center:

  • Faculty Resource Center | ​​The physical space for the FRC is located on the second floor of Building F in Room 203 of the LSC-Montgomery campus. Faculty can visit for workshops, participate in open labs, discuss books on professional development topics, converse with faculty in roundtable discussions, participate in panels, and take part in other fellowship opportunities.

  • FRC Website | ​The FRC Website offers information about hours of operation, contact information, and a calendar of events.

  • Online FRC Resource Guide | The Resource Guide supports faculty teaching and learning by helping to supplement face-to-face and online resources. The Guide also includes a searchable repository of resources that supports professional development; provides descriptions and registration links to real-time webinars and on-demand trainings; includes videos created by and for faculty professional development.
