New Faculty

New Faculty are indisputably the future of our university. To better support the 2012/13 new faculty cohort, CET&L, with support from the Faculty Development Council, is launching a pilot New Faculty Institute for pre-tenure faculty new to UC to:

Enhance new faculty efforts in research, teaching, and service;
Enable new tenure track faculty to reach these goals with greater efficiency; and
Improve new faculty retention and deepen knowledge of the RPT process.

The CET&L New Faculty Institute Steering Committee works in partnership with deans and academic unit heads to identify new pre-tenure faculty, as well as identify interdepartmental and external faculty mentors. CET&L then trains faculty mentors to create and sustain effective mentoring relationships and to develop effective and efficient strategies for providing feedback to new faculty.*

Over the course of two years, Institute members work with their interdepartmental mentor in the Peer Mentoring Program to navigate discipline-specific aspects of the research process, such as applying for grants, setting up a lab, making clear progress on their research and publication goals, and supporting innovative and effective teaching. Mentors also support new faculty in the preparation of reappointment dossiers and self-reflection statements. The external mentor serves as an important sounding board for navigating the university as a whole, in addition to providing support for questions or concerns that new faculty might like to address outside of their home department.

In addition, faculty participants may attend seminar sessions offered through the UC/CET&L Workshop Series (covering topics ranging from preparing a RPT dossier and writing successful FDC grants to developing effective, efficient, and innovative teaching practices) Institute participants work with their faculty mentors to determine which programs might benefit them best.
