Faculty Leadership Forums

Faculty Leadership Forums

Faculty Leadership Forums (FLFs) are intended to connect faculty from across campus who either serve in similar leadership roles or are developing similar professional interests that lead toward leadership on campus (e.g., pre-tenure faculty).

Faculty Leadership Forums offer opportunities to:

• Connect faculty members from multiple disciplines
• Promote shared professional development interests (Chairs and Directors, Graduate Program Chairs, Research Center Directors, and Pre-Tenure Faculty)
• Compile and disseminate existing knowledge to promote best practices
• Support collaborative processes to explore beneficial opportunities
• Build a greater sense of community and continuity among individual campus entities
• Provide development opportunities for new or potential leaders on campus

Applications are available on NuRamp at the start of each Fall semester.
