Peer Group Meetings

Peer group/discipline (PGD) meetings provide an opportunity for faculty to learn from each other and enhance the success of their students and colleges.

A peer group is a natural association of six or more faculty by discipline, position, or special interest. Adjunct faculty and classified staff are to be included when possible as members of the PGD. For a list of VCCS-sponsored peer groups contact Nancy Harris, Specialist for Professional Development.
