Faculty Relations Corner: Retaining BIPOC faculty

Dear Faculty Relations: Over the last decade, we have lost several BIPOC colleagues in our unit. Sometimes, we didn’t even get a chance to counteroffer. In my leadership position, I want to ensure we do everything possible to retain our colleagues and be aware of issues that may drive our BIPOC colleagues to seek positions elsewhere. What can I do? - Seeking Greater Awareness

ALI Leadership Opportunities

Will your unit leadership be changing next year?

If there will be a new dean, chair, director, associate dean, or associate chair, please let us know who they are and let them know we support their development as leaders. There is a required ALI Orientation on August 15.

Are you continuing as a leader next year?

Mark your calendar for the 18th annual ALI Mini-Conference August 18, 8:30-3. An invitation will be coming from Provost Moore.

Do you think about the future leaders in your unit?

Who would you like to see in leadership roles in the future? Do you have a faculty member who has been tenured in the past few years or is a senior instructor, and you'd like to encourage them to explore the possibility of a leadership role? Suggest to them to apply for the Faculty Leadership Institute. Each cohort has the opportunity to engage in targeted discussions with campus leaders on current campus issues and build leadership skills.

Please share this link with your faculty to apply for the 2023-24 cohort.

Applications are due April 28. Questions? Contact Faculty Fellow Anu Sharma

OFA Opportunities for You and Your Faculty

ACUMent Across CU Mentoring Center

Greetings Chairs and Academic Leaders: Please know how much we value your experience as mentors and leaders, and how you might consider participating in mentoring beyond your department. Are you interested in sharing your knowledge, empowering others, and making a difference? If so, we want you to be a mentor!

ACUMent Across CU Mentoring pairs more senior faculty as mentors with mentees outside of their departments to complement discipline-specific mentoring. Please share this announcement with your colleagues for the opportunity to mentor and be mentored beyond the walls of the department. Faculty at all career stages can apply as either mentors or mentees in this program. Mentor Matches consist of 1 mentor with 1-2 mentees outside their unit/department.

Apply here to be a mentor for the 2023-24 cohort, and send this link to other faculty you think might be a good mentor.
Please share this link with faculty to sign up to be a mentee.

Applications are due on May 15. Questions? Contact Faculty Director Harsha Ganga
