Shandong University Faculty Development Program

The Shandong University Faculty Development Program introduces visiting faculty members from Shandong University to new teaching and learning methodologies and contemplative pedagogy concepts. It also introduces them to intellectual properties, research policies, research compliance and integrity, and research publication and commercialization as they are applied in U.S. higher-education institutions.

Participants build professional networks with Virginia Tech faculty, take part in leadership and effective communication workshops, enhance their professional and academic English skills, and learn about American people and culture.
