Career Success Coaching

CFS runs semester long faculty success groups and academic career coaching.

 

Faculty Success Groups

This fall, the Center for Faculty Success is offering a Faculty Success Community (FSC) Group aimed at faculty who have been awarded tenure and newly promoted to associate professor (within the last 3-4 years).

The FSC group will help faculty moving into mid-career map out their scholarly and writing goals; construct realistic weekly plans and strategize ways to overcome challenges to productivity; and discuss challenges specific to mid-career stage faculty who at this point in their careers begin to expand their responsibilities toward leadership roles. This is part of an effort in the Center for Faculty Success to begin focusing on mid-career faculty.

Faculty Satisfaction Survey

The Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) inaugural survey was designed to identify areas of strength and concern to inform decisions as we assess needs and work to improve key areas that are critical to faculty success. The survey provides actionable data which will be used as a baseline to measure change. This set of analyses will be updated with new 2023 data.
