Northwestern offers programs specifically designed to support the growth and success of tenured associate professors and associate professors on the teaching/clinical/NTE track, providing an opportunity to reflect on your career and obtain guidance as you consider next steps and new opportunities for associate professors.
Mid-career faculty are invited to a special half -day program to consider career development after promotion to tenure or after promotion on the teaching/clinical/NTE track. The event ends with a celebratory lunch with the provost. This biennial program will return in 2027-2028.
Utilize your Northwestern institutional membership in the NCFDD (formerly the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity) for free access to sessions on promotion to full and academic leadership.
Mid-career faculty are welcome to attend a variety of career development programs that are open to all faculty, including on topics such as communicating your research, mentoring, family-friendly events, and writing supports.
