Junior Faculty Fellows Program Cohort Projects

The Junior Faculty Fellows Program (JFFP) is a selective program open to faculty members entering their second, third, fourth, or fifth year, including faculty who have previously participated in the program.  JFFP supports Fellows in designing and completing teaching, research, creative works, or service projects that align with Fellows’ professional goals and aspirations. The program provides financial support and a collaborative environment that helps Fellows advance their work and share their progress, successes, and challenges with their colleagues. Over the course of the year-long experience, Fellows:

• Clarify their goals and develop individual (or collaborative, with another Fellow) projects for their teaching, research, creative work, or other service;
• Receive financial and other support to complete their projects;
• Build relationships with faculty at a similar point in their careers at Ferris;
• Share their work and expertise with the University community;
• Be recognized as FCTL Junior Faculty Fellows; and
• Earn a Professional Development Incentive and travel support to further help Fellows advance their professional goals.
