Abstract: The purpose of this best practices session is to showcase an online undergraduate program’s faculty engagement series which includes biweekly meetings, webinar presentations, committee, and subject matter coursework. A successful model of faculty engagement will be presented in this session that demonstrates how a team, consisting primarily of part-time and adjunct faculty, willingly engages in online, non-mandatory experiences that enhance their professional and personal growth. This session will also provide an opportunity for attendees to discuss the role and responsibility that faculty play in engaging learners outside of the classroom or courseroom by increasing their own engagement.
