Faculty & Staff

**The Graduate College supports faculty and staff across our campus to deliver world-class graduate education.**

Whether you’re the director of a graduate program, a departmental administrative contact, an advisor or mentor, we have resources to assist you.

## New Canvas Space for Faculty and Staff

We're excited to share a new Canvas space designed for graduate program faculty and staff on our campus, offering resources and training to help you in your role. 

Some sections are still being built and polished, but we invite you to join the space, look around, and send us your feedback.

**IMPORTANT NOTE**\
As we complete our new Canvas space, some of the information below for faculty and staff will move into Canvas.
