University of Rochester
The Office of the Provost and the University’s six schools - the Eastman School of Music; the Simon Graduate School of Business; the Warner Graduate School of Education; and the Schools of Arts, Sciences and Engineering, Medicine & Dentistry, and Nursing - collaborate in the design and delivery of this initiative aimed at advancing the careers of UR doctoral students and post-docs aspiring to faculty roles in higher education.
The Future Faculty Initiative offers participants information and insights not traditionally included in their curriculums, aspects of the faculty role including academic career paths, learner-centered teaching, mentoring, learning assessment, diversity, etc. The series also facilitates cross disciplinary interaction as doctoral candidates and post-docs from throughout the University have the opportunity to become acquainted and interact on issues of common interest.
