Community Connections

Faculty Forums and Discussion Groups are communities that allow members to connect and share their expertise and knowledge about topics of special interest.

Faculty Forums have formal governance, with Chairs and Chairs Elect. Faculty Forums meet annually. Discussion Groups do not have formal governance and do not have formal meetings.
