Faculty Community Network Program

The Faculty Community Network Program was created to provide structures for faculty community, development, and support. Originally created through a grant from the UC Office of the President, the program now continues with funding from the CP/EVC.  Groups have been formed to support faculty in each of the following eight demographics:

• Academic Mothers Faculty Network (chaired by Lindsey Dillon, lidillon@ucsc.edu)

• Asian American/Pacific Islander Faculty Network (chaired by L.S. Kim, lskim@ucsc.edu)

• Black Faculty Network (co-chaired by Courtney Bonam, cbonam@ucsc.edu and Myriam Telus, mtelus@ucsc.edu)

• Disabilities & Chronic Illness Faculty Network (chaired by Megan Moodie, mmoodie@ucsc.edu)

• Indigenous Faculty Network (chaired by Tsim Schneider, tdschnei@ucsc.edu)

• Latinx/Chicanx Faculty Network (chaired by Alegra Eroy-Reveles, alegraer@ucsc.edu)

• Queer Faculty Network (chaired by Phil Hammack, hammack@ucsc.edu)

• Women in STEM Faculty Network (chaired by Rebecca Braslau, rbraslau@ucsc.edu)

Each group is open to any interested faculty (including Senate faculty, lecturers, and other faculty titles), with a goal of engaging faculty across ranks and disciplines, to improve faculty retention and success. Groups meet monthly; visit the monthly meetings page for more details.
