The FRC is a place dedicated to promoting teaching and scholarly excellence. To that end, the Center offers teaching circles, workshops, and various other services. The Center’s principal audience is anyone who teaches at Ramapo, regardless of whether they are tenured or tenure-track faculty, staff, or adjunct instructors. All are welcome!

The idea to establish a Faculty Resource Center was crystallized in 2001 by (then) Vice President for Academic Affairs Donna Crawley. Over several years of visiting other colleges, she became impressed with how much could be accomplished to advance teaching by a small staff. Dr. Crawley and Dr. Kwesi Aggrey, (then) Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, brought the center into being by finding a physical space (E 216), furnishing it, recruiting a Director, and funding a modest budget.
The Center’s Founding Director, Dr. Philip J. McLewin, was appointed January 1, 2003. Its first public event was an open house on January 29, 2003. Forty people dropped by over a two hour period. During the first full semester (Spring 2003) fifteen workshops were held on topics such as plagiarism, dealing with student reactions after war begins, the tenure process (including “The Unexpurgated Truth”), how students learn from both psychological and biological perspectives (“Connective Issues” and “Connective Tissues”), assessing student learning, and even a hike in Harriman State Park with a park history. Workshop facilitators came from faculty in every school at the College.
Following Dr. Philip Mc Lewin’s retirement in 2007, Dr. Lysandra Perez-Strumolo served as Director from 2007 to 2014. Dr. Nicholas Salter was then appointed as the Center’s Director from 2014 to 2019. The current Director is Dr. Tammi Redd.
Dr. Tammi Redd is an Associate Professor of Management in the Anisfield School of Business. Her field of study is Strategic Management, which is the continuous planning, monitoring, analysis and assessment of all that is necessary for an organization to meet its goals and objectives. Within this field, she is primarily interested in studying resource acquisition and entrepreneurial strategies. She is an Executive Board Member of the Management and Organizational Behavior Teaching Society, an organization dedicated to teaching and learning excellence in the field of Management.
The Faculty Resource Center Advisory Board reviews, evaluates, and advises the Director regarding the formation, implementation, and effectiveness of policies and programs. Its membership consists of both pre-tenure and tenured representatives from across campus.
The Center is located in the Mercer Learning Commons LC-202. It contains a large seminar table and seating for 23 people. The Center also has a microwave, mini-refrigerator, and free coffee and candy.
