Welcome to the Center for Faculty Success

The Center for Faculty Success (CFS) is a virtual and physical space for all Rutgers–New Brunswick faculty: tenure track, teaching, research, professional practice, lecturers, and tenured faculty. We hope that faculty in New Brunswick will “start with us” when you have questions or need support in your career. Whether you need a space for small meetings like writing accountability groups or a quiet comfortable spot to do a bit of work between classes, come by the CFS. As part of Faculty Affairs at Rutgers–New Brunswick, the CFS supports faculty across the full span of their careers with opportunities for development, advancement, leadership, and recognition.

Upcoming Center Events

Rutgers Recreation: Self Defense & Personal Safety
March 24 @ 5:00 pm
Join RUPD for an entry level assault defense course that requires no previous martial arts training. We will discuss situational awareness and the impact awareness has on you and a potential assailant. Since physical force is a last resort, we will discuss alternative means to de-escalate a situation by either confronting an attacker or diffusing a situation. Once a situation becomes physical, the goal is to get away from the threat as quickly and efficiently as possible. Come out and join RUPD for some tactical training tools that will help you protect yourself if you ever become a victim of an attack. REGISTER

TIIP: Supporting Neurodivergent Learners in the Classroom
April 2 @ 10:30 am
Join us for a 1-hour virtual workshop on supporting neurodivergent students in higher education. We’ll explore evidence-based strategies, grounded in Universal Design for Learning, for building more inclusive, flexible learning environments. Drawing on practical guides (including the work of Karen Costa and Jennifer Pusateri), you’ll reflect on how to leverage students’ assets rather than deficits and adjust course design, communication, and assessment practices. Whether you’re new to neurodiversity or want to deepen your practice, you’ll leave with concrete ideas to make your teaching more welcoming and effective for all learners.  REGISTER
