Investing in RIC's Future: Strengthening Our Team

“Faculty and staff are pivotal in RIC’s transformation and success. Continuous professional development nourishes a culture of learning and discovery, fosters innovation and creativity, and most importantly, nurtures professional excellence and pride. RIC will be a stronger institution because of its deliberate and inclusive support of its faculty and staff’s professional development. A robust professional development program evaluates the current needs and establishes priorities that are aligned with RIC’s mission, vision, and values. Overall, a well-planned and well-executed professional development program makes individual and institutional growth and excellence possible.”
