The Faculty Advancement Network (FAN Club)

Participants are matched with experienced peer reviewers and advisors, fostering professional growth, clarity, and success in preparing contract renewals and dossiers. This peer-driven initiative emphasizes collaborative feedback, manageable workloads, and adherence to institutional expectations.

    Lecturer Mentor Group (LMG)

    Lecturer mentors are “seasoned” lecturers who have been recommended by their division chair and vetted through the LMG members. They provide individual and small group support to all Leeward lecturers regarding topics such as lecturer dossiers, human resources paperwork, lecturer benefits, classroom management, syllabus preparation, submission of grades, student issues, or anything related to teaching and learning at Leeward CC. The group also provides representation on shared governance committees such as Campus Council and Faculty Senate.

    Feel free to contact any of the mentors for support today!
