Signature Programs

Lecturer Welcome and Orientation

This one day session in late August welcomes and acclimates our new lecturers to Rutgers–New Brunswick and its many campus resources. It is a great time to network with new colleagues.

Pathways to New Faculty Success

Serves as the orientation for new fulltime faculty including Teaching, Tenure track, Research, Extension, Library, and Professional Practice faculty. Part 1 takes place over two days in late August and includes the new employee orientation conducted by Human Resources. A second session takes place online the week before classes begin in January. Pathways to New Faculty Success provide a unique opportunity to learn more about Rutgers New Brunswick and interact with other new faculty members.

Provost Leadership Fellows for Faculty Advancement

Sponsored by the Office of the Provost, faculty fellows in this experience-based program assist with researching, developing, delivering and evaluating faculty and leadership development programs within the Center for Faculty Success. Learn more about the program.

Faculty Excellence Awards

The annual Chancellor and Provost Awards for Faculty Excellence recognize Rutgers–New Brunswick faculty members who have made outstanding contributions through innovative teaching; cross-disciplinary research, inquiry, or artistic expression; public engagement; and service.

Fall 2024 Faculty Success at Mid-Career Community Group

September 27 @ 9:00 am

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, 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 will be held weekly each Friday, September 27 through November 22, from 9 -10 am via Zoom.
