This is a long-term capacity-building project through which we hope to build campus-wide awareness of the benefits of community-based collaboration, toward the end of Faculty Learning

Communities (FLCs) becoming an integral feature of Ohio University’s faculty culture. As we carry out this project, our goals require (a) creating conditions under which change leadership can thrive and (b) ensuring executive involvement and investment in the process. Thus we have chosen nine faculty to become a learning community on learning communities in order to work with us in designing and implementing FLCs over the next year to seed a campus culture of faculty collaboration.
