The Office of Diversity and Inclusion has secured funds to support six faculty members to participate in the Summer 2022 Faculty Success Program. This 12-week online program offered through the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity helps tenure-track and tenured faculty develop the skills necessary to increase research and writing productivity while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Participants will be provided:
- One-on-one private coaching sessions with an NCFDD-certified coach.
- Weekly training in empirically tested skills, strategies and practices that will help to align time and spark productivity.
- Weekly accountability calls led by an NCFDD-certified coach in which participants will set goals and be held accountable for meeting those goals.
- A supportive community and the opportunity to interact with other program participants, ask questions, get feedback, share resources and exchange ideas with peers.
- Time tracking using the custom WriteNow platform designed specifically for the Faculty Success Program to collect data regarding writing and research productivity.
The priority application due date is Friday. Tenure-track faculty applicants will be prioritized, but all tenured/tenure-track (Category I) faculty members can apply. Upon successful completion of the program, each faculty member will be required to provide a brief (one-page) description of how the experience impacted their professional development.
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion will review all applications, and selected faculty members will be notified by March 11.
