What is FWI?

The Faculty Workstation Initiative (FWI) is sponsored by Academic Technologies. FWI was mandated by the University's Board of Trustees to provide a top quality workstation to 1/3 of faculty each year. As the program has developed, it has undergone numerous changes to ensure that the workstation you receive is powerful and effective:

  • Academic Technologies works with the Resource & Instructional Technology Committee (RITC) to have faculty representatives approve each year's configurations.
  • Each School's Dean authorizes their School Representative to nominate eligible faculty under the guidelines of The Office of AVP, to which FWI workstations will be deployed. Academic Technologies coordinates with each School's Local Support Partners (LSPs) to prepare recipient office spaces.
