The New Faculty Cohort Program for Teaching and Learning is a component of the New Faculty Launch Program, which supports and guides new full-time faculty for approximately one year as they begin their academic careers at the School of Dentistry.
Faculty in the Cohort Program meet every other month for about a year to learn best practices, apply teaching strategies and develop a support network. The sessions are highly engaging and informal, encouraging development of collaborative and supportive relationships in a welcoming and inclusive learning environment. The cohort includes faculty in both the clinical and tenure tracks.
