Professional Development & Research

Professional development for faculty and staff on CCCU campuses is critical to the Council’s mission of helping our institutions transform lives.  In order to equip campus leaders to better reflect the integration of faith and learning, the Council offers high-quality programs to challenge, inform, encourage and inspire in a variety of areas across disciplines and peer groups. Special leadership development programs and faculty opportunities are provided as catalysts for effective professional development in senior positions.

The Council’s professional development opportunities include conferences and workshops, networking grants, assessment, research, institutional surveys and helpful resources.

Unlike other higher education associations which serve the needs of a specific academic peer group, the CCCU strives to meet the needs of faculty, administrators, trustees and students on its member and affiliate campuses. Each group can find an array of programs, projects, events and resources among the more than 100 services offered by the Council.
