Welcome to the Faculty Mentoring Program!
From its early inception, the mentoring program was placed administratively within the Office of Faculty Development and Academic Support (OFDAS) as the office charged with development programs for all new faculty. OFDAS provides seminars, panel discussions, workshops relating to professional development in teaching and scholarship. The Faculty Mentoring Program within the broader mission of OFDAS has become part of an integrated effort to retain new faculty and to provide support for faculty with tenure and seniority throughout their academic careers.
A word about our program
Hiring each new faculty into any department is an extensive commitment in resources - time, energy and financial; once hired, every effort made towards professional development of junior faculty serves the entire institution. Programs such as this can be replicated on any campus with a commitment of making incremental and critical differences for the individual faculty and for the entire collegial community of that campus.
