The Future Professors Institute is a one-day event featuring workshops and guest speakers from multiple institutions discussing the topic of preparing for successful faculty careers. The focus audience for the full institute is doctoral students, postdocs, JD or JSD, MFA and other terminal degree students who are interested in academic careers, with the primary audience being Cornell University students and postdocs who identify with backgrounds historically underrepresented in the academy (students of color, first-generation college students, and/or students who identify with other historically underrepresented groups such as individuals with disabilities, Veterans, and LGBTQQ). Special Invites will also go out to faculty for the Luncheon Keynote Talk and Afternoon Plenary Session. This event is based in part upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1647094 (AGEP CIRTL).

Organized by the Cornell University Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL at Cornell), the Graduate School Office of Inclusion & Student Engagement (OISE), and the Office of Postdoctoral Studies
