  • GOAL 2: Comprehensive Faculty Mentoring Program

Goal

  • DOFA is committed to developing and supporting an equity-centered and inclusive comprehensive and systematic faculty mentoring program in collaboration with academic units, the Division of Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DDEI), the Office of the Vice-President for Research (OVPR), and the office of the Provost and Senior Vice President. Implementation Strategies 1. Develop rank-progression support programs centered in diversity and inclusion principles and practices and collaborate with Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DDEI) and the Office of the Vice-President for Research (OVPR) in programming development (example programs: the First-Year Faculty Experience Program and Mid-Career Faculty Experience Program). 2. Develop a program focused on Demystifying the Reappointment Promotion and/Tenure (RPT) Process Program. Collaborate with academic units and the Faculty Senate’s Professional Standards Committee in offering diversity and equity centered programs that support faculty rank progression. 3. Collaborate with senior academic leaders in developing leadership support programs for chairs and associate deans that center diversity considerations in leadership, faculty recruitment, evaluation, and support. 4. Collaborate with academic units in developing a coordinated individual faculty mentoring program at the academic unit level and an overarching centralized support and resourcing program through DOFA (example program: the Henderson-Harris Fellowship). 5. Collaborate with regional organizations such as the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) and national organizations such as the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD) programming, targeting professional development of faculty from underrepresented backgrounds. In collaboration with academic units, sponsor fellowships in the NEBHE North Star Collective Program and the NCFDD. 6. Collaborate with DDEI to create faculty affinity groups responsive to emerging faculty concerns on campus and supportive of their social and cultural adjustment to UVM and Vermont in general. 7. Support DOFA staff and administrators' professional development related to offering programming centered on enhancing the Division’s goal to collaborate with academic units to diversify faculty at UVM. 8. Support DOFA staff and administrators’ professional development in developing knowledge, awareness and skills related to inclusive pedagogical practices in DOFA’s programming and administrative work. 9. Develop assessment procedures to document faculty participation and performance in the aforementioned programs to enhance faculty mentoring efforts.
