A Senate Committee

The Committee on Professional Development is responsible for developing programs which promote the professional growth and development of all faculty and staff members at the  College. The Committee, in consultation with The Committee on Evaluation of Program Effectiveness, develops and periodically reviews instrument and procedures to provide evaluative data on instructional effectiveness and on performance of non-instructional and administrative services.

The faculty and staff of LaGuardia Community College are expected to maintain a high level of instruction and performance through publications, attendance and presentation at conferences. Each member of the LaGuardia family is encouraged to disseminate information acquired from conferences through the Committee on Professional Development.
