The NYUAD Center for Faculty Advancement


Educators

Scholars

Leaders

The NYUAD Center for Faculty Advancement (NYUAD CFA | صفا) is a vibrant hub for developing and supporting NYUAD faculty as exceptional educators, scholars, and leaders. Serving as a beacon for faculty, the CFA represents the university’s concrete commitment to fostering faculty success.

Beginning in fall 2024, the CFA will have a physical presence in the Campus Center Library. It will be a nexus in which to integrate all faculty-focused programming, as well as a space for connection and individual consultation. A unified calendar of events will serve to simplify and streamline activities relevant to faculty development. The CFA plays the role of both creator and curator of services, resources, and programming in the areas that are critical for empowering faculty excellence.
