All CU Denver faculty members are welcome to join a Mentoring Circle in their first through third years.
In each Circle, faculty mentees collaborate with the CFDA and selected faculty mentors. Circles focus on developing community, and on building skills and knowledge needed to support your professional growth during the first several years of your academic career.
Sample topics covered in the Circles' meetings may include:
Contact the CFDA at cfda@ucdenver.edu if you have questions or if you'd like to join!
As part of the Early-Career Faculty Mentoring Program (ECFMP), the CFDA encourages new faculty to think of their first year as their "Year of Professional Growth." Challenge yourself to attend at least one workshop that meets your professional goals each month. (This is a great practice for experienced faculty who want to challenge ourselves to grow, too!)
