Support for your success

UD AdvanceUD ACHIEVE Community Engagement Initiative

You don't have to prepare for your annual appraisal alone. Several UD programs offer direct support, from understanding the process itself to building the community and habits that make documenting your year easier.

UD ADVANCE Institute

UD ADVANCE is an Institute focused on faculty development and success. Our broad goals are to strengthen UD’s faculty and to foster positive departmental climates. Programs of particular interest to new faculty include resources to support formal mentoring for faculty, interactive sessions for faculty on navigating evaluation processes at different career stages (e.g., annual appraisal, 2-year review, promotion and tenure, etc.), and disseminating and clarifying UD policies and practices for faculty. We also do research on faculty recruitment, retention and advancement. You can read about our institute and virtually meet our team on our websiteLinks to an external site..

We encourage you to join our Canvas site, where you can find resources on topics such as formal mentoring, annual appraisal, and promotion and tenure. Please email us at ud-advance@udel.edu to be added to our Canvas site, or if you have questions.

UD ACHIEVE Program

We believe that when faculty achieve excellence, they make a transformative impact on the communities in which they work.

Our mission is to support faculty excellence throughout their career. The ACHIEVE program helps faculty to unlock their professional potential through mentorship, connectivity, community, and leadership development.

The ACHIEVE program creates supportive communities for faculty members to come together to share ideas, celebrate successes, and challenge and mentor each other. Led by our faculty leaders and fellows, programming encourages faculty in our respective journeys to advancing our careers by becoming more productive scholars and creating a better balance in our work-life dynamics.
