The Ivy+ FAN Virtual Colloquia
Since 2020, the Faculty Advancement Network has been hosting virtual dialogues attended by over one thousand faculty and administrative leaders from across the consortium’s member institutions.
Our next series will invite faculty to virtual inquiries that probe and strengthen our understanding of the foundations of the American research university. How do our peculiar institutions work—and how might we better communicate their worth?
Any faculty member, staff member, or administrative leader from FAN member institutions have access to these online sessions. (Faculty from other institutions may register and will be granted access if capacity allows.)
