Programs and Initiatives

Faculty excellence in scholarship, teaching, and service is a core value of NYUAD. To enhance the capacity of our faculty in these areas, the NYUAD Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity solicits applications from all standing NYUAD faculty for the Summer Scholar Awards. 

This award will provide financial support for faculty seeking professional development opportunities at high-impact programs offered through a select number of institutes during the summer months. 

Collaboration between the Vice Provost and Academic HR Affairs sponsors workshops every semester for faculty serving on search committees.

Faculty leadership development is important at all stages of the career trajectory. 

Advice, feedback and support is key to faculty development at all stages. This program is intended to provide a structure for informal guidance on career development, with the aim of enhancing success and achievement of academic excellence for the entire NYUAD faculty.
