The Faculty Colloquium on Excellence in Teaching (FACET) was established as
an Indiana University Presidential Initiative in 1989 to promote and sustain teaching excellence.
Today, FACET numbers over 400 full-time faculty members, chosen through an annual campus
and statewide peer review process. Each year approximately 20-25 candidates from across
the IU campuses and representing a wide range of academic disciplines are selected as new
members. At the annual Retreat, new members are inducted into the FACET Academy and participate
in workshops and discussions with other FACET members and leaders in higher education. They
address the challenges of collegiate teaching, and develop and share strategies to enhance
pedagogy and practice.
Once selected into FACET, members are expected to contribute their experience
and skills to FACET activities, and continue to advance Indiana University's Faculty Teaching
Mission. Throughout the year, FACET members are involved in a range of cooperative and collaborative
activities at the campus, university, and national level, promoting inquiry and engagement
in teaching and learning. Activities currently include publications on effective teaching
and the scholarship of teaching and learning; conferences and institutes exploring diversity;
the impact of technology on learning and teaching; and the development and training of associate
faculty and future faculty.
