This spring, the Center for Faculty Success is offering a Mid-Career 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, facilitated by Dr. Christine Kephart, 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. The group sessions will be held weekly each Friday, February 7 - April 18, 2025, (excluding March 21), from 9 -10 am via Zoom. Register Now
