Faculty and Staff Resources

The dean's office is here to give faculty and staff the tools you need to help you be successful in your work at DU.

Committees

Faculty members within the Division of Arts and Humanities and the Division of Social Sciences represent those divisions by serving on committees. Learn how you can serve on these committees.

Among the work AHSS faculty committee members do:
  • Produce agenda items for quarterly meetings
  • Decide how to distribute grants and scholarship
  • Review, devise and implement policy for graduate and undergraduate education
  • Review, investigate and evaluate faculty complaints about compensation, tenure, dismissal and more
  • Assess and improve DU's Honors Program
  • Review and identify top course proposals from deans for First-Year Seminars
  • Read and evaluate faculty/student applications for research grants and scholarships
  • Research and promote DU's study abroad program, support of international students, and other internationalization efforts, and recommend ways to improve them
  • Hear and rule on student appeals for grade changes
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of programs within the center for teaching and learning
