Jax State Essentials: Spring 2025
Program Description and Goals
Faculty Commons joins forces with important services, programs, and departments that positively impact the university learning environment to highlight the wealth of beneficial resources that faculty have access to at Jacksonville State University. Strengthening the partnerships between Jax State faculty and various divisions across campus will directly impact how engaged faculty feel in the campus community and will provide them with the support to reach our students, retain them, and ultimately, impact their long-term success. We hope you will join us as we explore the multitude of services and programs Jax State has to offer.
- To learn about JSU centric programs and services that offer support to JSU faculty
- To strengthen academic collegiality and collaboration
- To engage faculty in various academic faculty and student related issues outside of their disciplines
- To enhance student support through faculty development and growth
- To educate faculty on best practices in supporting students with diverse needs
