This paper examines the effectiveness and the continuity of student-engaged faculty development (FD) organizations by considering the case of Okayama Universityʼs student-engaged FD organization, an official organization that has been active for around twenty years. This study adopted a research methodology that involved disclosure of internal institutional documents (e.g., meeting documents) and procuring these to conduct a detailed analysis to overcome data limitations. The main findings from the analysis are as follows: (1) Okayama Universityʼs student-engaged FD organization was established as part of the universityʼs FD and a certain level of quality was demanded with respect to the student proposals; (2) Diverse activities have been conducted in the last two decades that have contributed to the promotion and enhancement of the universityʼs FD while incorporating the studentsʼ perspective; (3) Students who participated have been able to improve the quality of their proposals by surveying general students and departments, generalizing ideas that began as personal issues of interest and repeatedly discussing such ideas during meetings with the students, faculty, and staff members of the organization so that these could serve as formal proposals of an official committee submitted to the university; (4) While the student-engaged FD organization seeks to procure more participation in the form of initiatives by the students, it was found that less opportunities to participate in the discussions are being provided to the students.
