Find Your Area Liaison

Stearns Center resources and events are open to Mason faculty from all departments and programs, and at all types of faculty status, including adjunct faculty, term faculty, tenured and tenure-line faculty, administrative faculty, and staff or graduate students with instructional responsibilities (or aspirations!).

You may also reach out directly to a Stearns Center Liaison who is assigned to your college, school, or area. Liaisons can respond to individual requests; however, they will be particularly helpful resources in the context of teaching-and-learning projects that span multiple courses. Your liaison might attend a committee meeting, join your program’s brown-bag lunch series, facilitate a conversation during a department meeting, or provide consultation to leaders or administrators about course planning, faculty support, accreditation, or unit-based policies regarding teaching. Liaisons can also connect you to other Stearns Center staff who may be able to provide more in-depth information about a specific area of teaching and learning.
