About CAFDN
The Chicago Area Faculty Development Network (CAFDN) is a non-profit consortium of colleges and universities dedicated to promoting the improvement of college teaching by providing a convenient and affordable way for professionals to exchange information and best practices in the field.
CAFDN has been in existence since 1996. Our membership includes faculty development professionals from all types of schools throughout our area, covering the full range from community colleges to research universities. We have found it most helpful to learn from each other not just despite, but also because of, the differences of our institutions. The diverse requirements of our home campuses have allowed us to look at issues from new perspectives and develop a profound sense of collegiality.

Over the years we have debated every important topic that faculty and institutions of higher learning are facing: From effective grading practices to interdisciplinary teaching, from active learning to the role of part-time instructors, and from faculty evaluation to learning communities.
