About the Office of Faculty Affairs and Professional Development
The Office of Faculty Affairs and Professional Development is part of San Francisco State University's Division of Academic Affairs. As the centralized resource center for all faculty-related programs and support services, we provide administrative support to faculty members at every stage in their career at SFSU, from the hiring process to retirement.
We cultivate an inclusive and welcoming faculty culture and a consciously intersectional and anti-racist community, with an intentional goal of mirroring faculty diversity to student diversity.
SFSU's Center for Equity and Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CEETL) is within the Office of Faculty Affairs, offering specialized teaching and learning resources.
