ProfEd's Vision and Mission
On behalf of CMU, I would like to welcome you to our team of dedicated adjunct
faculty. As new instructors with Off-Campus Programs (ProfEd) we want to ensure
you have the information, structure and support you need to provide high-quality
and meaningful educational experiences for our students. This orientation will
provide the framework within which you can approach your first, and future,
courses.
As CMU instructors, you are part of a community that supports teaching and
learning as its top priority. Our students are at the heart of everything we do
- and for our off-campus students, this requires that we think and reach a bit
more broadly, while preserving the highest quality in our programs and services.
To that end, ProfEd’s vision is:
To be an innovative learning organization dedicated to supporting and
enhancing CMU’s ability to achieve a national and international prominence in
support of the University’s mission.
Our mission is:
To extend CMU’s reach through delivering educational and outreach
opportunities to a diverse and global learning society; and
To advance the university through building knowledge resources, innovations,
and technology.
We expect you, our instructors, to exemplify the CMU vision and priorities –
through the way you develop and deliver your courses; the interactions you have
with your students and peers; and the outreach you may have with your local
communities.
We look forward to your contributions as CMU's part-time Faculty; shaping and
inspiring the minds of students as they expand their knowledge and skills, and
approach future leadership roles across the globe.
Again, welcome and thank you for joining our team!
