Tina Chiarelli-Helminiak


Department: Graduate Social Work

In 2014, as a first-year TT faculty member, I received a PASSHE Faculty Development Grant. Receiving the funding had a positive impact professionally as it strengthened my ability to offer community engaged study abroad graduate courses.

Serving as a WCU representative to the PASSHE Faculty Professional Development Committee is an opportunity to "give back" and support faculty in seeking out funding that could have a similar impact on their teaching, scholarship, and service.

Please consider me as the next WCU representative to the PASSHE Faculty Professional Development Committe.

In service, Tina :)

Maxine Gesualdi


Department: Communication and Media

I am seeking a position on this committee to help facilitate development opportunities for faculty. I am a process-oriented professional, which is an asset on a committee such as this. I will equitably apply the program's guidelines and rubrics through thoughtful review and collaboration with the committee members.
