The CFI offers individual, group, and departmental consultations about career planning, organizational development, scholarship, and teaching. All interactions, discussions, and/or data are confidential.
Individual and small group consultations are available to faculty on a wide variety of topics related to faculty success and development. Consultants work with faculty through their questions and provide referrals to other resources on and off campus as needed.
We can also provide tailored departmental consultations for units and programs to meet disciplinary or departmental needs.
INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATIONS
Career Consultations
Career consultations are personalized and designed to connect faculty—individually or in small groups—to resources and support for professional goal setting and career planning. Regardless of rank, level of experience, or area of interest or need, faculty will be matched with members of the JMU community who have knowledge and expertise in helping address faculty professional development.
Scholarship Consultations
The Scholarship consultations connect faculty to the on-campus resources necessary to advance scholarship projects and agendas. Regardless of the stage of a scholarly process—envisioning, research design, drafting manuscripts, revising/editing a manuscript, celebrating success—participants will be matched with people on campus (e.g. statisticians, librarians, grant experts, methodologists) who will help toward advancing needs and agendas.
Teaching Consultations
DEPARTMENTAL CONSULTATIONS
The CFI provides on-demand professional development opportunities for academic units and programs. Unlike the CFI’s general workshops and roundtables, which are targeted to all instructional faculty, these targeted initiatives allow our CFI faculty to tailor outcomes to meet disciplinary or departmental needs.
