Faculty Leadership & Success Council

The Office of the Provost has established a Faculty Leadership & Success Council to bring colleges and schools together in a collective, campus wide effort to discuss and make changes for better faculty leadership, communication and success on campus. The Faculty Leadership & Success Council’s purpose is to support the leadership of each school in providing resources and information to better support their faculty members holistically, not only for research and/or teaching but also for service, leadership, engagement and outreach and wellbeing. The council meets regularly during the academic year, on the first Wednesday of each month, and engages in discussions with their unit’s leadership team and faculty members, and helps facilitate programming, initiatives, and/or supports in their unit. The dean from each unit appoints a representative to serve on the council.  Questions about the Faculty Leadership & Success Council – contact Associate Provost for Academic Programs, Shruti Rana.
