Faculty Professional Development
Faculty professional development plays a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of education while ensuring the academic growth of our institution. Through continuous professional development, we can better engage students, adapt to evolving educational technologies, and address diverse learning needs effectively. It also fosters a culture of lifelong learning among educators and promotes self-improvement.
