To Improve the Academy
Professional and Organizational Development Network
in Higher Education
Mission Statement
Approved by the Core Committee on March 24, 1991
at its Washington, D.C., meeting.
The Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher
Education (P.O.D.) fosters human development in higher education through
faculty, instructional, and organizational development.
P.O.D. believes that people have value, as individuals and as members
of groups. The development of students is a fundamental purpose of higher
education and requires for its success effective advising, teaching, leadership,
and management. Central to P.O.D.'s philosophy is lifelong, holistic, per-
sonal and professional learning growth, and change for the higher education
community.
The three purposes of P.O.D. are:
To provide support and services for its members through publications,
conferences, consulting, and networking.
To offer services and resources to others interested in faculty develop-
ment.
To fulfill an advocacy role, nationally, seeking to inform and persuade
educational leaders of the value of faculty, instructional, and organiza-
tional development in institutions of higher education.
