Wendy Hensel, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Georgia State University, has named Nicolle Parsons-Pollard, Vice Provost for Academic and Faculty Affairs at Monmouth University, as Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs at Georgia State University, effective July 1.
More than 100 faculty across a diverse range of fields were honored for their achievements and service to the university during the 2019 Celebrating Faculty Excellence event in May 2019.
The event at Georgia State Stadium recognized faculty award recipients, faculty receiving promotion and/or tenure, and faculty members who have earned recognition as Distinguished University Professors and a Regents’ Professor.
“Georgia State’s rising profile over the past decade would not have been possible without the outstanding faculty that we hire, tenure, and promote,” said Risa Palm, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs. “All the faculty being honored tonight have excelled at the highest levels in instruction, contributing to the Georgia State student success story. They have distinguished themselves through their research, and all are making significant contributions to the university, their departments and colleges, their disciplines, and the Atlanta community through their service.”
If you are a member of the Georgia State University faculty, regain momentum on your research and writing this summer by joining a Faculty Writing Accountability Group (WAG). Organized by the Office of Faculty Affairs, WAGs are a great way to re-energize and make progress on your research and writing goals while connecting with new colleagues across the university. Registration is now open through May 10.
The Office of Faculty Affairs is pleased to offer a one-week workshop in May for promising faculty members who may wish to submit a proposal for one of the two provost’s research fellowships next academic year. The workshop will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., May 13-17 on the Atlanta Campus.
The two fellowships are the Provost’s Faculty Research Fellowship and the Provost’s Study in a Second Discipline Fellowship. Participants will engage in focused writing and review sessions with each participant completing a draft proposal. This workshop will prepare participants to apply for fellowships when submissions are accepted in the fall.
The deadline for applications is April 22. The workshop will be limited to 12 participants, so register early.
