Program in Career Development

The mission of the Program in Career Development is to promote the professional development of tenure-track faculty in the College of Arts and Science by providing an array of programming and mentoring opportunities to support them in establishing a flourishing career at Vanderbilt and beyond.

Activities

The PCD offers five different types of programming:

  • Thematic activities on specific topics related to professional development
  • Confidential mentor-matching with senior faculty outside of the faculty’s home department
  • Cohort meetings to discuss issues specific to the tenure clock
  • Social events for tenure-track faculty
  • A Brightspace webpage that maintains the PCD’s calendar and serves as a repository of useful information and links

For a list of current activities, participating faculty should visit the PCD Brightspace page.
