<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The work of faculty occurs individually and collectively. Faculty members should work with their division assistant deans and mentors to pursue career development opportunities and scholarly activities. They are accountable for developing and evaluating annual goals and discussing those with their assistant dean as part of planning for the following year. As faculty become more experienced, they are expected to mentor more junior faculty members. Collectively, faculty participate on College and university committees, contributing to decision-making and implementing final decisions. Faculty support the wellbeing of themselves and other faculty members through clear and positive communications, keeping promises, and resolving differences of opinion in respectful ways.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Faculty engage in shared governance through the General Faculty Organization and its rules guiding faculty members’ roles and responsibilities related to instruction, research, practice, and service (https://wiki.unmc.edu/index.php/CON_Rules_of_the_Faculty_Organization). Mechanisms for shared governance include the Faculty Coordinating Council (composed of standing committee chairs and division representatives) and the General Faculty Organization (which is a community of the whole faculty), as well as campus-level discussions in division meetings. Faculty use these formalized mechanisms to communicate about issues and decisions facing the college before decisions are made. The faculty role is collaborative, consultative, and collegial. Participation in shared governance is expected and ensures the college benefits from accumulated experiences, wisdom and multiple viewpoints that are diverse and inclusive. Faculty participation in shared governance provides a vehicle for involvement and participation of the faculty, adds assurance of the importance of diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, and weights the importance and seriousness of a diversity of voices in decision making. </p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Faculty members collaborate with staff in supporting and advancing the College’s mission. Whether working with members of the Student Services staff or instructional design staff, faculty focus on ways to support students in their learning. Staff in the Niedfelt Nursing Research Center support research and scholarly efforts, and faculty are expected to adhere to guidelines for working with these staff in order to manage timely completion of proposals, reports, media, and other initiatives. </p>
