Initiative Title | Connect Faculty, Chairs, and other College staff with CAPE business clients and external agencies. |
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Providing faculty and staff the opportunity to connect with business and industry builds the reputation of the College, and can also promote the interests of both the College and the faculty by:
- enriching the classroom experience for students by providing faculty members with current practical experience;
- providing faculty members the opportunity to engage in professional development;
- helping to recruit and retain faculty members by providing them with the opportunity to engage in outside interests, thereby enabling them to identify new scholarship topics and apply their theories to "real life";
- enabling faculty members to earn additional compensation at little or no cost to the home institution;
- creating opportunities for faculty members that may translate into employment and internship opportunities for their students;
- increasing the potential outside financial support for the institution—either directly or indirectly—through joint ventures and the activities and networking of faculty members in the larger community, including the business community; and
- contributing to the longstanding mission of the higher education community to share knowledge and learning with society at large and especially with the local community in which the institution is located.
