Programs and Development Opportunities for New Faculty

July 17, 2024

New Faculty Welcome to Bloomington! On behalf of the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs (OVPFAA), it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you. We are thrilled that you have joined the IUB faculty in our pursuit of excellence through cutting-edge research, teaching, scholarship, arts, and creative activity. Your expertise and enthusiasm will undoubtedly enrich our community and inspire our students.

As you settle in, please know that our team in the OVPFAA is here to support you and your career at IUB. We sponsor many programs and opportunities for faculty enrichment and development, including our outstanding Scholarly Writing Program, Initiative for the Advancement of Women (IAW), and William T. Patten Foundation Lecture Series, to name a few. I encourage you to get involved—attend a lecture, participate in a promotion and tenure workshop, or join a faculty mentoring group.  Whether you have questions, ideas, or simply want to connect, please do not hesitate to reach out to us (vpfaa@iu.edu).

I look forward to meeting you at the New Faculty Orientation and Welcome Picnic on Friday, August 23, 2024 from 4-7pm at the Virgil T. DeVault Alumni Center and wish you all success in the days and years to come! Go Hoosiers!

Hoosiers Connect

You are all invited to participate in a new initiative sponsored by the OVPFAA, Hoosiers Connect. This group faculty mentoring program is designed for faculty who are new to the IUB community. This program will connect you with other new faculty in a group setting facilitated by an IUB faculty mentor. In this program you will be exposed to a wide range of resources available to IUB faculty both on campus and within the greater Bloomington community.

The program consists of a welcome event followed by four small group meetings (September, October, November, and February) where you will meet other new to IUB faculty and learn more about your new home and the many resources and opportunities provided both on and off campus.

Interested? Submit your name and contact information using this form and a member of the OVPFAA will be in touch! Join us for the inaugural year of Hoosiers Connect!
