Faculty Development and Growth

We provide faculty members at all stages in their careers with the tools and opportunities needed to succeed and flourish.

Programming and Opportunities

Senior Administrative Fellows

KU is dedicated to the development of internal administrative leadership at all levels. To assist tenured faculty who have an interest in or talent for administration, the Office of the Provost coordinates the Senior Administrative Fellows program. This program allows selected faculty to explore administration without having to take time away from teaching, service, or research.

Faculty in Conversation Series

Our Faculty in Conversation series offers is a small-group, interactive experience learning circle experiences, meant to foster interpersonal connections and collective wisdom around specific topics of interest or shared circumstances. We look forward to adding a book club and faculty writing opportunities to our Faculty in Conversation series soon.

KU Faculty Development Academies

We are excited to present KU Faculty Development Academies! These day-long intensives take place the week after finals and focus on particular topics, giving faculty time to delve deep and develop a core capacity in a chosen area.

Early Career Programming

Our Early Career Foundations series offers opportunities to learn about relevant and timely topics as they intersect with the faculty role, as well as time to connect with New Faculty peers over refreshments. Sessions are open to all faculty within their first several years in their position.
