Building meaningful professional relationships is an important part of faculty development. Faculty Affairs & Professional Development offers networking opportunities throughout the year designed to help faculty connect with colleagues, build relationships across disciplines, and strengthen their sense of community within Virginia Health Sciences and ODU.

Annual Sip & Social

The Annual Sip & Social brings faculty together in a relaxed, informal setting to connect with colleagues from across Virginia Health Sciences. The event provides an opportunity to meet new faculty, reconnect with colleagues, expand professional networks, and build relationships outside of the traditional work environment.

Collaborative Networking Opportunities

FAPD also partners with schools, colleges, departments, programs, and other groups across the university to offer networking opportunities throughout the year. These collaborative events help faculty make connections beyond their immediate departments and disciplines, discover shared interests, and develop relationships that may lead to future collaboration, mentorship, and professional opportunities.
