Three Pillars of Faculty Representation
FACCC‘s work spans legislative advocacy, the Education Institute, and strategic communications, all in service of California’s faculty and students across every community college.
Advocacy & Policy
From the Capitol to the classroom, we turn faculty priorities into policy by tracking the bills that matter and putting faculty in the room where decisions get made.
Education Institute
We help faculty grow as teachers and leaders by providing professional development through hands-on seminars and the live conversations shaping the profession statewide.
Communications
Two ways we keep California’s faculty connected to the policy conversations shaping their colleges: our award-winning journal and our blog.
Our Commitment
Policy of Non-Interference
FACCC endeavors to work cooperatively with all community college faculty organizations, maintaining a policy of strict neutrality as to the selection, organizational structure, governance, and leadership of other faculty organizations.
