The Office for Faculty Advancement and University Communications and Marketing will co-sponsor a workshop to support faculty as they engage with the media to amplify their work and share their perspectives. During the workshop, MarComms will provide faculty with practical tools and support as they develop strategies to use their voice in the public arena. Participants will learn effective practices as they navigate media invitations and initiate op-eds, interviews and other forms of public engagement. Participants will also hear from faculty colleagues who have successfully navigated media engagements and share valuable lessons learned.

In its inaugural year, the Duke Faculty Academy brought together eight faculty across disciplines to discuss the many ways generative AI impacts different aspects of the faculty experience. At the capstone event, the cohort will share what they learned and invite all members of the Duke community to join them in discussion about the wide-ranging implications of generative AI use. The cohort will also announce new resources that will be available to faculty in the coming year.

Maria Wisdom will offer a special summer group coaching series for regular-rank, full-time Duke faculty from May through July, with a particular emphasis on the themes of navigating complexity and cultivating resilience. (Read more on faculty coaching.)

Register to indicate your interest and availability for the group program. Spaces are limited. Faculty in formal leadership roles who are interested in 1:1 coaching sessions (summer or fall) should email Maria directly.

The Faculty Mentoring Commons is a virtual gathering place for faculty mentors to share the diversity, vibrancy and power of impactful mentoring relationships at Duke. We hope this series will promote a robust exchange of ideas and promising practices about mentoring across the university.

During his visit to Duke last month, Lonnie Bunch III reflected on his time leading the National Museum of African American History & Culture, the importance of remaining informed by history and the vital role of cultural institutions such as the Smithsonian.

Law professor and author John Inazu made the case for what he calls “confident pluralism” in the public square, during a lecture and public conversation.

Having multiple informal mentors is a proven strategy for career success, as highlighted in a Duke Faculty Advancement workshop with Nicolette Cagle, Jarvis McInnis, and Maria Wisdom.

Duke Faculty Advancement provides leadership, guidance and oversight of university-wide strategies and programs to support faculty throughout their career lifespan. We offer faculty and leadership development programs and partner with Duke schools, departments and other academic units to enhance faculty growth and success. A diverse faculty — defined broadly as representing a wide range of identities, lived experiences and perspectives — is a prerequisite for excellence and is essential to driving innovation within our scholarly community. We work to recruit and retain outstanding faculty and strive to promote a welcoming academic culture and community that lives up to the Duke values of respect, trust, inclusion, discovery and excellence.
