individuals have been chosen because they prioritize values of excellence, honesty, trustworthiness, inclusivity, and compassion. They are available to help early career faculty discuss and navigate their professional development while on the pathway to promotion.
It is our hope that these groups will help early career faculty explore their individual objectives, hopes, and aspirations as well as to reflect on their common challenges, concerns and solutions about promotion and tenure.
