Welcome, Jason Organ!
Jason Organ has been appointed executive director of FACET. He is an associate professor of anatomy, cell biology and physiology at the IU School of Medicine. He succeeds Michael Morrone, teaching professor of business communication in the Kelley School of Business at IU Bloomington, who has directed FACET since 2016. Organ’s appointment is effective July 1.
“I am excited to contribute to FACET’s growth by building on the achievements of our members and my predecessors,” Organ said. “With its strong foundation, FACET will continue to be a valuable resource for excellence in teaching and success in learning.”
To align with the academy’s 2023 strategic plan, he will focus on three key priorities:
- Ensure equity in FACET’s recruitment, selection process and membership community.
- Advance the quality of teaching and learning through the dissemination of evidence-based practices and the enhancement of the academy’s scholarly publications.
- Focus on growing the external support of FACET’s commitment to teaching excellence, including by leveraging his extensive experience and success in securing both internal and external funding.
