Faculty Affairs 2023-24 Annual Report

Abstract

At the beginning of 2023, President Sands established two aspirations for the university: Virginia Tech Global Distinction and Virginia Tech Advantage. Achieving global distinction requires attracting, hiring, developing, and retaining an accomplished, successful, world-class faculty. Faculty Affairs continues to play a pivotal role in helping faculty realize their potential: “We support faculty success and empower faculty excellence.” This annual report summarizes our key accomplishments for last year as well as our goals for the coming year. To put them in context, Appendix A describes Faculty Affairs’ mission, staffing, and responsibilities and Appendix B provides a summary of the university’s faculty-related strategic goals and recent trends.
