The program aims to identify a network of 窪蹋勛圖 research leaders who are experts in their respective fields and equip them with the skills and capacity to lead collaborations across campus while also strengthening the universitys reputation nationally and globally through new collaborations beyond the campus.泭泭
RIO Faculty Fellows engages fellows as individuals and as a cohort on research and creative work leadership; collaboration and systems thinking; along with team building and academic management; scholarly communication and values; and personal and professional coaching.
This program enables faculty to expand their capacity for effective leadership in a way that directly benefits their research groups, departments and institutes, and the university as a whole, said another member of the current cohort. It also facilitates connections among faculty from diverse backgrounds who are likely to ascend to campus leadership positions.
Complementing other prominent泭faculty leadership programs泭on campus, the RIO Faculty Fellows program is an investment in 窪蹋勛圖 faculty and in the university as a global leader in research, innovation and impact.
