Wake Forest College Mid-Career Teacher-Scholar Program Application

The Faculty Development Program for Mid-Career Teacher-Scholars will provide an opportunity for 10-12 Associate Professors to reflect on personal and professional priorities at mid-career. Post-tenure is a period of transition: academic interests and trajectories evolve; demands on faculty time increase as they assume more service and leadership roles; and issues of work-life balance may become more salient.

In a combination of small group discussion settings and individual coaching sessions, this program aims to facilitate participants’ strategic setting of personal and professional goals for mid-career. Participants will work on establishing routines and accountability structures that will support and align professional fulfillment with personal balance and well-being.  The program is an opportunity to recognize the post-tenure years as a chance to re-imagine our academic journeys, to (re)define what success means for us at mid-career, and to make the most of resources and support we need to achieve that success.
