The Office of Faculty Engagement offers campus-wide assistance and advocacy to all faculty creating programs and activities that that align with AU’s community outreach mission. This is accomplished through a variety of initiatives, including those listed below, plus an annual award recognizing faculty success and commitment to that mission.
