About the Committee
The Faculty Advisory Committee serves as a collaborative partner to the Center for Educational Effectiveness (CEE), helping inform and strengthen our work in support of teaching and learning at UC Davis. Committee members represent a wide range of disciplines, colleges, and instructional perspectives from across campus.
The committee provides guidance on emerging instructional needs, faculty engagement, program development, and strategic priorities related to evidence-based and inclusive teaching practices. Through their expertise and leadership, members help ensure that CEE’s programs and initiatives remain responsive to the evolving needs of instructors and students.
We are grateful for the committee’s continued partnership and commitment to advancing educational effectiveness at UC Davis.
