The Faculty Success Program (FSP) gave me space, resources and people to help me prioritize my research,听even as a new assistant professor overwhelmed with teaching.听 Going into the program, I thought I knew a lot about time management and priorities, but I came out with specific new strategies for goal setting and renewing my commitment daily.听 My accountability group and mentor gave me terrific support and encouragement, and helped me become far more productive than I would have otherwise.听

The FSP has helped me to reflect more broadly on and better align my long-term goals with my daily activities. It has provided me with a set of best practices and strategies that I have experimented with during the summer. Before participating in the FSP, I felt my schedule was constantly driven by urgent and not important needs. The FSP has helped me to create a daily writing habit. I have seen a huge improvement in my productivity this summer and I have learned I don鈥檛 actually need big time slots to have some writing done. This will be very beneficial when things start to get busy with the academic year and it鈥檚 hard to find time to write. 听

The FSP taught me skills and gave me support that increased my productivity and reduced my stress levels. I continue to use the 鈥淲rite Now鈥� software that鈥檚 part of the FSP Alumni program and I still meet weekly with the accountability group I met four years ago when I went through FSP.听 We鈥檝e celebrated our successes together and buoyed each other in difficult times.听 I highly recommend all of NCFDD鈥檚 webinars, its 14-day writing challenges, and of course the FSP.听

Participating in NCFDD's Faculty Success Program was transformative for me as a new assistant professor. It provided me with the tools I needed to balance the myriad of responsibilities associated with mentoring students, starting up and running a research program, teaching, and performing my service assignments. Its focus on strategic planning and time management has allowed me to effectively balance work with my personal life and be successful without needing to work excessive numbers of hours. It was also invaluable in connecting me with peer mentors. I actively recommend this program to anyone starting as a new professor.听

Laurel Hind, Assistant Professor, Chemical and Biological Engineering, 2021 cohort

Participating in the NCFDD FSP was a life saver for me. I was a mid-career associate who was struggling to keep my research agenda moving forward while also balancing a new administrative position, ongoing teaching responsibility, and two young children. The program introduced me to an array of tools that have helped me feel more organized and in control. Strategic planning exercises and accountability groups help keep me on task and productive. But what I really loved was its holistic approach to things. I'm a lot more thoughtful and intentional about what I prioritize. I'm definitely not working harder, I'm working smarter, and my well-being is an important part of that calculus.听

Associate Professor, 2017 cohort

Like many other participants, I found the program transformative in all the right ways. The first six weeks were especially invaluable for developing concrete strategies for staying on track with research and writing in an extremely busy semester. FSP made me rethink how I approach weekly planning and fitting everything in. With the regular writing practice encouraged by the program, I was able to make significant progress on various projects without any additional stress or an increase in working hours.
