Faculty ADVANCEment Office Supporting Faculty at Clemson University

Faculty Coffee Klatch- September 7th from 12:30-1:30 pm

The Faculty ADVANCEment Office is sponsoring regular opportunities for faculty to join the ADVANCEment team in open discussions about ideas that are important to you. Please drop in and have a conversation over a cup of coffee.

Our version of “office hours” provides a forum for an open and relaxed exchange of ideas involving initiatives, upcoming events, and the progress toward the implementation of research-informed programs that support faculty across the University. This is also an opportunity to listen and learn how we can assist in the recruitment, retention, and professional development of faculty, as we sustain and grow the Clemson faculty community. Please feel free to bring your lunch, coffee will be provided.
