Message from CFDE Director

Welcome to Fall 2021! We’re not back to normal, and I don’t even think we’re at a new normal, but nonetheless I enjoy being on campus and seeing all the students in the Woodruff Library outside the CFDE office suite. I hope your semester is off to a great start as well, perhaps assisted by our FAQ.  

We have a wide variety of our fall programming described in this newsletter, from teaching consultations to inclusive pedagogy techniques to writing support programs to new resources supporting community engagement. Take a look!

Eric Weeks, CFDE Director & Dobbs Professor of Physics

Faculty Mentorship Network

The CFDE Faculty Mentorship Network aims to provide all Emory faculty confidential opportunities for support and conversation with colleagues, by providing access to multiple mentors. More than 180 Emory faculty from a wide range of schools and departments have volunteered to support their colleagues in areas such as teaching observations, guest lecturing, research, scholarship, university service, public scholarship, and general professional development. Mentoring is life-long: just as faculty mentor students and trainees at all levels, faculty at all levels can benefit from mentoring as well. Likewise, no one person can provide all of the mentoring expertise you may need: we are happy to connect you with multiple mentors on multiple topics. For a complete list of topics, see the link below.
