UVM faculty are central to our commitment to academic excellence and standing as one of the nation’s premier research universities. The university is committed to the recruitment and retention of high-quality faculty. To advance this goal, we provide numerous resources to support faculty recruitment.

The UVM Comprehensive Faculty Mentoring Program is a collaborative effort between the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs and various academic units/divisions, including the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs coordinates group mentoring programs available to all faculty, regardless of their academic rank. Additionally, the academic units offer personalized mentoring opportunities for faculty members tailored to their unique professional practices and expectations.

The Academic Leadership Programs at UVM aim to support Chairs, Associate Deans and emerging leaders. The objective is to support and provide space for Chairs, Associate Deans, and emerging leaders to share effective leadership and administrative strategies with each other, e.g., RPT Process management and documentation, effective conflict management and response, conducting faculty annual performance reviews and workload planning, and other important topics. See Academic Leadership Experience Program.
