The UA Little Rock Faculty Mentoring Program (FMP) is designed to help new university faculty successfully navigate their overall development at UA Little Rock. It is the official mentoring program for faculty supported by the Office of the Provost. New faculty in all faculty roles, including full-time tenure track, full time non-tenure track, and visiting positions, are invited to participate in this year-long program.
Each FMP class runs for one academic year. During that year, participants benefit from useful workshops, panel discussions, and developing resources in a supportive cohort. Participants will have the opportunity to learn and ask questions from seasoned faculty members, excellence award winners, and administrative leaders and will gain access to many additional resources to advance their faculty development.
After completion of the initial year, new faculty are encouraged to maintain contact with the peers in their FMP cohort, continue informal communication with faculty panelists, and pursue mentoring relationships both within and external to their own academic units. Program graduates receive a letter of completion, and copies are sent to their chair and the Office of the Provost.
