Faculty Success Program
Each year, the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD) hosts several iterations of the Faculty Success Program, a twelve-week online program to support tenure-system faculty with the goals of increasing research and writing productivity, gaining control of their time, and balancing personal and professional responsibilities.
The National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity was founded by a Michigan State University alumna, Kerry-Ann Rockquemore. The Faculty Success Program is NCFDD’s most robust and practical support for faculty, with programs intentionally designed to connect faculty from underrepresented groups to a broader community of scholars. The program components include weekly training modules, small group calls, private coaching and an online community of peers. If you wish to read more about this program, please see https://www.facultydiversity.org/fsp-bootcamp.
For the past few years, the Provost has covered the program costs (~$4750 per participant) for approximately 10 selected faculty to attend the Summer Faculty Success Program. Upon successful completion of the program, each faculty member will be required to provide a brief (1-page) description about how the experience affected their professional development.
A call for nominations will be sent in early 2021.
