To answer RQ-2 about NFLC’s role in faculty development, the majority of facultymembers perceived the outcomes of NFLC as positive: new and enhanced relationships withcolleagues, a deeper understanding of the university and departmental structures and systems,and encouragement and support from the College. Faculty members often mentioned the opportunity to build relationships with othercolleagues as an ideal aspect
