Enhancing a Culture of Teaching and Scholarship

The New Faculty Teaching Scholars (NFTS) Program is an exciting UM system-wide initiative that was launched in Fall, 2001. The NFTS program is intended for faculty in their 2nd, 3rd or 4th year of their tenure-line appointment. The program is specially designed to help early-career faculty enhance their academic and professional impact for their own benefit and for that of the university. The year-long program is an intra- and inter-campus effort that aims to build collegiality and to introduce innovative teaching methods. NFTS is dedicated to cultivating the success of new faculty selected for the program by providing developmental support through workshops, conferences, retreats, and local monthly forums.
