Mid-Career Faculty Leadership Program

About

With the support of the NYU Center for Faculty Advancement, the NYU Steinhardt Faculty Leadership Program was designed to cultivate leadership amongst mid-career faculty. Year-long programming is created in collaboration with Academic Impressions.

Purpose and Vision

The purpose of the NYU Steinhardt Faculty Leadership Pipeline is to:

  • Identify and provide high-potential faculty with the opportunities to cultivate their leadership skills.

  • Provide existing leadership with a pool of talented faculty for future leadership opportunities.

  • Create inclusive spaces for all faculty leaders.

  • Engage with faculty participants in discussions of their interest in leadership and administration.

  • More broadly, shift the culture of service to one that encompasses both individual- and community-building.
