Faculty Resources

Dear PDC Faculty,

Welcome to the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus!

Whether you are a faculty member who has self-identified as a PDC faculty member, or you have been hired for and dedicated by your department as a PDC faculty member, or you are one of our seasoned full or part-time faculty members who occasionally teaches a PDC course, welcome and thank you for being a part of the PDC family!

Over the years, the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus has benefited tremendously from the expertise, dedication and passion of our faculty, who have all played an important role in helping our students succeed. In addition, faculty contributions have helped to infuse intellectual excellence, elevate the student experience, and accelerate campus growth at PDC.
