What We Do
The mission of Faculty Enrichment is to encourage and inspire the career-long professional learning of Keene State College faculty as teacher-scholars and leaders of a vibrant community of learners.
Our work emphasizes inquiry and innovation. Our programs and services are informed by evidence from research and practice, and are voluntary, formative (not evaluative), and confidential.
