Faculty development cohort programs for 2023-24
The UGA Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) is currently accepting applications for the following programs:
- Application deadline: Monday, May 15 at 5 p.m. (apply today)
In the Aspire Fellows cohort program, mid-career, and senior faculty members will build on their existing successes and strengths to create and complete a signature project that will extend their professional impact. To support this project, each fellow will formulate and adopt an individual professional development plan. Fellows will benefit from an interdisciplinary community of peers and a structured approach to support their professional development and signature projects. Fellows will also engage in reflective practices to strategize for the next phase of their careers.
Creating a Sustainable Writing Practice (CSWP)
- Application deadline: Monday, May 15 at 5 p.m. (apply today)
Take your writing skills and habits to the next level and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow writers. The CSWP cohort program will focus on best practices in setting achievable goals, building low-stakes accountability, managing writing-related stress, and adopting other practices to establish or enrich a sustainable writing practice.
Faculty Interest Groups (FIGs)
- Application deadline: Thursday, Aug. 31 at 5 p.m. (apply today)
OFA invites you to create a Faculty Interest Group of like-minded peers to pursue shared interests. The FIG organizes itself with faculty-led, informal meetings or events to share ideas, resources, and interests on a topic of the group’s choice. The goal of the FIG program is to foster faculty communities. All faculty are eligible to propose or participate in a FIG. To qualify for OFA support, membership in the FIG must range from six to 30 faculty members who agree to participate on a regular basis. Funding is on a first-come, first-funded model.
