Faculty Development

Mentoring Committee: A RBHS-wide mentoring committee serves the needs of junior faculty of all disciplines in all RBHS schools and institutes. The goals of the mentoring team are to assist faculty with career advancement, improve faculty recruitment and retention, increase diversity of faculty, increase faculty satisfaction, improve productivity and career satisfaction for all faculty, and become a national center of excellence in faculty mentoring. In May 2016, the committee organized the first annual day-long faculty mentoring symposium. The next annual symposium is planned for spring of next year.

Rutgers Connection Network Mentoring Program is designed to increase the engagement and scholarly productivity of Rutgers faculty by providing the infrastructure, training, and facilitation that enable faculty to participate in effective and collaborative mentoring partnerships with faculty beyond the departmental level.

OASIS Leadership & Professional Development Program is a semester-long program with approximately 25 female faculty participating in workshops, networking, peer mentoring, and individual coaching.

Program for Early Career Excellence (PECE) is designed to support Rutgers’ mission to recruit, retain, and advance a diverse faculty. It is a cohort-based program for early career faculty participating together over a three-year span. The program addresses the needs of all new faculty and includes a focus on factors that have differential impact on underrepresented groups.
