The NTT (non-tenure-track) faculty email listservs are a means for Term faculty colleagues across campus to keep in touch with each other. They are also a primary form of communication to and from the University NTT Committee, a subcommittee of the Academic Assembly (the faculty's main shared governance body).
The main "NTT-Faculty" list serves both full-time and part-time Term faculty.
There are also two lists dedicated to private messaging between either full-time or part-time Term faculty. Only full-time Term faculty members can send to the Full-Time list, and only part-time Term faculty members can send to the Part-Time list.
NTT-Faculty-Full-Time@seattleu.edu
NTT-Faculty-Part-Time@seattleu.edu
As soon as your email account is set up as a Term faculty member, you will automatically join the appropriate NTT faculty listserv, so you don’t need to contact anyone to sign up.
The SUPOC listserv provides faculty and staff of color with an online space for sharing information about news, events, and ideas relating to people of color communities and issues.

The Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) serves as a hub for research development at Seattle University, charged with obtaining and managing external funding. The OSP assists with positioning faculty to be competitive in grant-seeking, the development of grant proposals, post-award administration, and maintaining institutional compliance. The OSP oversees the Summer Faculty Fellowship program, which provides support for faculty to build on previous scholarly or creative endeavors or to move projects in a new direction.
We support all faculty through individual consultations, quarterly learning opportunities, and hosting events to highlight SU's scholarly achievements. Regardless of whether or not you plan to pursue external funding, the OSP is an excellent starting place for discussing your scholarly agenda.
Get started any time by scheduling an individual consultation with an OSP Team Member:
