New and Early Career Faculty Development Series
The Provost鈥檚 University Teaching Council has developed a semester-long program to explore essential topics related to success in your first year and beyond at 91福利, while building your community and networks across disciplines. Rotating topics will address aspects of evaluation, research, and teaching at 91福利, as well as the self-care critical to your success. We encourage other recently hired faculty to attend, as well – both to learn and to share your experiences!
