Office of Faculty Affairs
Scholarly Productivity
Subject Guides & Resources
Scholarly productivity is grounded, in part, in strong research skills and writing habits. The Office of Faculty Affairs partners with the UGA Libraries, Write@UGA, the Department of English, and faculty colleagues to provide programs and workshops in support of faculty writing productivity.
Many offices provide resources and support for scholarly productivity. For example, if you are interested in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, see the SoTL page on the Center for teaching and Learning’s website. Each fall, you can enjoy the Office of Research orientation that showcases its extensive support for faculty. Public Service and Outreach also supports scholarly endeavors. You may also want to connect with one of UGA’s centers and institutes.
