THE FUTURE FOCUSED FACULTY PROGRAM

Introducing our Future-Focused Faculty Program! As a valued member of our university's faculty, we understand the pivotal role you play in shaping students' futures. We invite you to participate in this exciting program designed to further strengthen the collaboration between faculty, alumni and our Career Services Office.

By recording your post-graduation success engagements and promoting the career center's resources, you not only support students' professional development but could also help your department win the Future-Focused award along with a $200 gift card for yourself.

Together, let's create a robust ecosystem of support, empowering our students to thrive in their chosen fields. Join us in building a future-focused community of academic excellence and professional success.

To take part in the program, simply include post-graduation success engagements in your classroom and record them in the Engagement Report Survey. Each form of engagement, ranging from promoting events in the classroom to taking students on a site tour, is assigned a number of points. At the end of each semester, our team adds up the points and awards the CEPS department with the most total points from their respective faculty. Additionally the faculty member with the most points within that department will be awarded a certificate as well as a $200 stipend!
