Coaching Support for Early and Mid-Career Professors (2024-2025)

The Office of the Vice-Provost, Faculty Relations is excited to offer a coaching program designed to support early and mid-career professors in their professional academic journey.

Description

The program consists of three separate online sessions, each lasting 60 minutes. During these sessions, you’ll engage with an experienced professional. The discussions can take either a strategic or practical approach. Specifically, they can provide guidance on balancing teaching, research, and academic service activities to prepare for future tenure and promotion applications. Alternatively, the focus can be on preparing and revising your upcoming application file for promotion and tenure.
