Join the Faculty Diversity Collaborative Peer Network.
Get Connected
Building an inclusive academy requires developing sustaining community intentionally. The FDC Peer Network is a mechanism to promote connection and offer means for engagement for Rutgers University faculty across Chancellor-led units. It will bring together diverse and allied faculty, to intentionally serve as a resource for one another and advance the institutional goal of increasing faculty diversity. Use the FDC Peer Network to identify and create communities of connection.
Implementing the Diversity Plan
The University Diversity Strategic Plan highlighted recruiting, retaining, and developing a diverse community as one of five university priorities.
The Faculty Diversity Collaborative was created to foster a sense of belonging and professional growth for all.
