Departmental Teaching Liaison Network
The Center maintains a network of Faculty and Graduate Student Teaching Liaisons who represent each academic department or program on campus. Faculty Liaisons are mentors to junior faculty and graduate students in their departments. Faculty Liaisons and Graduate Student Liaisions communicate departmental teaching needs to the Center and keep colleagues apprised of Center events, programs and services.

Teaching Consultants
As part of its consulting services for faculty and graduate students, the Center trains and supports those members of the Brown and RISD teaching community who have completed Certificate I, and are interested in providing consulting services to their peers.

Advisory Board
The Sheridan Center has an advisory board consisting of Brown faculty and members of the Corporation. The advisory board counsels the Center staff on policy and direction. A list of the current Sheridan Center Advisory Board is available upon request.
