Abstract
Globalized higher education has created many challenges for faculty including the uncertainty and rapid change in the missions, faculty, and teaching. In this volatile environment, faculty are constantly bombarded with changing goals, job expectations, and how to deal with technology for teaching and learning. What are faculty to do? Since professional development is limited, most faculty must make the adjustments on their own with little institutional support. A possible answer for this dilemma is resiliency, which positions the faculty member to be their own best cultivator of the future they desire in higher education.
