Professional Development and Educational Services (PDES) encompasses the Faculty and Staff Center (FSC) and the Adjunct Center for Excellence (ACE). Collectively, we support LSC-North Harris and its centers by providing technical support, consultation services, and innovative solutions for faculty and staff tailored to their teaching and departmental needs.  Services consist of workshops, one-on-one consultations, virtual assistance, instructional project development, departmental project solutions, and events.

PDES collaborates with the Faculty Senate, Faculty Professional Development Committee, PSSA, and the Staff Professional Development Committee to provide opportunities for growth and development for our faculty and staff.
