Faculty Development Committee

The George Fox University Faculty Development Committee (FDC) was established to facilitate professional development and effective teaching through research and to encourage faculty to make research results available to a public forum for professional consideration.

Through a generous donation each year, the FDC is able to fund a number of summer research grants, research leaves, and faculty writing workshops. Current research grants have been funded by a generous donation from the Morland Family Trust.

Each year the FDC is responsible for selecting the winners of the Faculty Achievement Award for Research and Scholarship from nominations submitted by faculty members. Two awards are given, one for an outstanding undergraduate faculty member and one for an outstanding graduate or Adult Degree Programs faculty member.

The faculty members selected present their research at two faculty lectures the following academic year. The fall Faculty Lecture features the undergraduate recipient of the award, and the Spring Faculty Lecture features the graduate/Adult Degree Programs recipient of the award.
