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.)

COLLOQUIA TO BE ANNOUNCED IN 2025-26:

  • Storytelling for Impact: Speaking Your Values

  • Trustees & Presidents

  • Historical Perspectives on Today’s Challenges at Private Research Universities

  • Values in University Funding Strategies & Budgets

  • The Rights & Responsibilities of Faculty: Academic Freedom, Free Speech & “Merit”


The 2025-26 Institute on Faculty Voice & Collaborative Leadership

September 2025 - April 2026

Our colloquia are open to all FAN members’ constituents, but the Institute engages 50 Ivy+ Provost Leadership Fellows selected from among the universities in the Faculty Advancement Network for a yearlong program of personal and organizational development.
