Emory University CFDE Director Eric Weeks

Welcome From The Center for Faculty Development and Excellence

Welcome to Emory! I am sure you are excited to be starting at Emory, and I assure you that Emory is equally excited that you are here. The Center for Faculty Development and Excellence is here to help you thrive in all aspects of your faculty career – teaching and pedagogy, research and scholarship, and connecting you to faculty mentors. See below for a quick view of what we offer. If you want to be on our mailing list, please see "Subscribe to CFDE Communications" below – otherwise this is likely the last time you’ll hear from us.

Have a great first semester!
