Faculty Professional Development
The Faculty Professional Development Committee (FPDC) develops and provides professional development opportunities for Cuesta faculty. Along with developing and coordinating activities for FLEX Days, the committee provides resources and financial resources for faculty to attend and participate in professional development and conferences outside of Cuesta planned events.

The Faculty Professional Development Committee adheres to the following schedule for accepting funding applications: Applications for Fall Semester will be accepted each year via email beginning the third Monday in September at 12 am through December 1, or until all funds allotted to the current semester are exhausted. Applications for Spring Semester will be accepted each year via email beginning the third Monday in February at 12 am through May 1. Applicants will be notified of their request status after the next scheduled meeting of the Faculty Professional Development Committee. The committee is only able to consider requests received during the application window and only for the current fiscal year (which begins each July 1).
Funds are limited to a maximum of $350 per faculty member per year and both part-time and full-time faculty are eligible to apply.
To apply for these funds, please review both the Conference and Travel Guidelines and the Pre/Post Travel Instructions on the Fiscal Services website and complete and gather signatures for both the Faculty Professional Development Funding Request Form and the Conference Request/Travel Reimbursement Form.
