Our mission is to support you in whatever it takes for you to feel equipped and informed to carry out your assignment as a Vanguard faculty member. We want to ensure that you feel informed with the knowledge and resources you need to carry out Vanguard’s criteria for teaching effectiveness and to achieve your own professional development goals, both short-term and long-term.
To that end, we are instituting weekly Faculty Excellence Office Hours on Mondays from 9:30-11:30 am, typically based in the Waugh Student Center, next to the Price Room.
