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.
