Sabbatical
Sabbatical leave promotes scholarly and professional activity through concentrated study, contemplation, and creative work, and promote collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
Take the opportunity to maintain and enhance your academic and professional competence free from normal on-campus teaching/professional and service obligations.
Tenured faculty may apply for sabbatical at the start of the academic year preceding the year of the leave, for a period of six or twelve months. It is expected that sabbatical leave projects have a positive impact on the professional, scholarly or creative productivity of the faculty member and on TRU programs.
