Sabbatical and Other Leaves
This page lists those faculty who were most recently granted either a Sabbatical Leave or a Fulbright Scholar Leave.
Sabbatical Leave
The objective of a sabbatical leave is to increase the faculty member's value to the College and thereby improve and enrich its programs. Sabbatical leaves are for the purposes of planned travel, study, formal education, research, writing, or other experience of professional value; they are not regarded as a reward for service nor as a vacation or rest period occurring automatically at stated intervals.
The following faculty have been granted a sabbatical leave during the 2023-24 academic year.

Fulbright Scholar Leave

The program, which supports activities and projects that promote the relationship between educational exchange and international understanding, provides grants to support research or teaching in a participating country for a set duration of time (often the equivalent of one academic semester or a full academic year).
