Charlton McIlwain, vice provost for faculty development, pathways, and public interest technology, set out to reimagine how CFA could give faculty the chance to effect change both at NYU and across New York City. The effort has yielded, among other successes, several pathway programs including the College & Career Lab, which currently provides more than 200 NYC middle and high school students a chance to experience classes, workshops, and professional development at NYU. Faculty First-Look is an initiative that enables gifted scholars of color, and others underrepresented in the academy completing their PhD, EdD, or other terminal degrees, to learn what it takes to prepare for scholarly careers. And the Early Career Faculty Institute is one of several NYU programs offering resources and mentorship to foster faculty success and retention.
