Rutgers Faculty Development

Welcome to AY 2018-19! We hope you had a productive summer and had time to disconnect and enjoy family and friends.

We want to let you know about the variety of opportunities we are offering this year to support Rutgers’ faculty. Our programs and events aim to support you in increasing scholarly productivity, developing new connections and building and strengthening your network of mentors.

What do you need to create more accountability for your writing?

Some faculty want to share space with other writers, some faculty prefer virtual connections to achieve accountability, productivity and support.

Check out the variety of WAGs on each campus as well as virtual groups to see if there is one that meets your needs or to decide you’d like help in starting your own.

Common Interest Groups are faculty who come together based on common research interests or common experience (e.g., Academics Engaged in Health Disparity Research, Scholars of Color Navigating and Thriving in the Academy).

Have an idea for another Common Interest Group? We can assist you in getting it started.
