The division of educational research and development (ERD), with the help of a grant from the National Institutes of Health, is sponsoring two different faculty development workshops on Wednesday, March 29.
From noon to 1 p.m. in Room 1.206 in the School of Nursing, Thomas Landefeld, Ph.D., director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences-funded MARC undergraduate student training in academic (U*STAR), will discuss “Leaks in the Pipeline: Do Faculty Mend Them or Create Them?” The focus is on the role faculty play in the pipeline of under representative minorities from pre-college to professor or professional. He will address why some programs are more successful than others and ways for successfully recruiting minority faculty.
