Faculty Development & Climate

Faculty Development

Building and nurturing an environment where faculty can work and create effectively is critical to “developing virtuoso talent.”

Faculty Mentoring: Mentoring is an on-going process at Purdue. It begins when you join the College of Engineering and continues until you reach full professor status and beyond.
How to Identify External Recognition Opportunities - This interactive workshop will introduce faculty to the College’s newly developed External Recognitions Opportunities Database—a centralized, searchable resource designed to streamline the process of identifying prestigious awards, fellowships, and honors. Attendees will learn how to effectively navigate the database to uncover opportunities that align with their scholarly achievements, career stage, and discipline. The session will include a live demonstration of key features, tips for customizing searches, and guidance on how to use the database to proactively plan for recognition milestones. While the broader landscape of external recognitions will be briefly discussed, the primary focus of this workshop is equipping faculty with a powerful tool to take ownership of their professional visibility and recognition strategy.
