LIU Brooklyn RESOURCE GUIDE message from the Provost Dear Colleagues: Welcome to the LIU Brooklyn Resource Guide! Developed by a diverse team of LIU Brooklyn faculty and administrators in 2011, this guide is designed as a handy online reference for faculty and staff at LIU Brooklyn to serve our students and maximize their success—as well as your own. Whether you are new to LIU or a longtime member of the campus community, this guide will better acquaint you with our extraordinary array of programs and services. You’ll find information on financial assistance programs for your students’ or your own research; where to find help with classroom technology; how to organize a special event and get it publicized; and how to take advantage of the campus’s rich cultural, culinary and health and wellness programs. This guide also contains vital information about campus policies and compliance regulations. The Resource Guide is organized into the following major sections: • Schools and Colleges • Specialized Programs • Resources for: – Students – Faculty – Campus • Compliance Resources My hope is that this guide will help you take advantage of our pedagogical, administrative and student services to enhance your teaching and advising and make you a more effective, engaged member of the LIU Brooklyn community. While providing an overview of the LIU Brooklyn programs and policies, this guide is by no means all-inclusive . Much more information is available at our website at www.liu.edu/brooklyn . The guide also will be available in print and will be updated annually. If you believe we have omitted important information that we should include in future editions of the LIU Brooklyn Resource Guide, please contact the Associate Provost’s Office, located in Metcalfe Hall, Room 301, by phone at (718) 488-3405 or by completing the Resource Guide Form, available in our office and online. As you navigate this guide, please keep in mind our primary purpose: to inspire academic excellence, personal growth, empathy, equity and civic responsibility in our students. Sincerely, Gale Stevens Haynes, J.D.
