Promoting faculty success, satisfaction, and belonging
Faculty Link is a faculty-led program designed to build connections and community across campus through events, career mentoring, and support. The program has three components: on demand one-on-one advising, forums, and community gatherings.
The program is available to senate faculty, as well as adjunct faculty, clinical faculty, and cooperative extension specialists.
Faculty Core Advisors from a variety of disciplines are available for one-on-one advising and support. Discussion topics can range from serious issues and concerns to where to find the best coffee near campus. Reach out to one (or more) of our outstanding faculty Core Advisors for advice, support, or just to chat!
Faculty Link forums are larger group events on topics related to faculty experiences (e.g., getting grants, work-life balance, new research directions, etc.), designed for meaningful discussion and career support.
Community gatherings, open to all, offer faculty with shared experiences and interests opportunities to gather in an informal setting.

In both my former job at a Cal State and over the past twelve years here at UC Berkeley, I have learned a bit about navigating academic institutions as a woman of color faculty in the arts and humanities. I would be really excited to connect with my peers across campus to share insights and challenges.

I have mentored undergraduate, graduate students, and junior faculty in Computer Science at Berkeley since I arrived in 2013. I look forward to working with faculty at the assistant and associate levels to navigate their way towards success at Berkeley.
