Welcome from the Director

As you explore this site, we hope that you will find many opportunities of interest on teaching, research and writing, and institution building. We have designed our programs with two major goals in mind, both consonant with CFDE’s mission statement:

1. to build intellectual community across units at Emory; and
2. to help faculty take their skills and knowledge, whatever they are, to the next level.

We welcome your comments and insights on all aspects of life at Emory, and ways in which we could fulfill our mission in new and creative ways. Please do not hesitate to contact me at lpatton@emory.edu or our Assistant Director, Donna Troka at dtroka@emory.edu.
