The CU Denver Center for Faculty Development & Advancement (CFDA) seeks Faculty Fellows to join its Faculty Fellows program. CFDA Faculty Fellows serve as leaders supporting the CFDA’s mission to help faculty grow in their chosen directions. Faculty Fellows develop and lead programs, assess faculty needs, and support individual faculty members in areas relating to their program. Most Faculty Fellows support faculty members as they grow in two or more areas of the CFDA’s mission [link to mission/vision]. While Faculty Fellows focus their efforts on their signature areas of work, they also have many opportunities to support other faculty members in programs on other topics central to faculty life, such as rank advancement, leadership, and service.
The CFDA encourages Faculty Fellows to build and apply their leadership skills in strategic, innovative program development and delivery. Faculty from all schools and colleges, and all ranks, are welcome to serve as Faculty Fellows. The CFDA aims to reflect the range of experience and expertise on our campus in our group of Faculty Fellows.
