About us
Consistent with Northeastern's mission, vision and core values, the objectives of the Future Faculty fellowship program are:
1) to encourage and promote excellence and diversity (especially African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans) in the pool of future faculty candidates in disciplines at Northeastern;
2) to introduce to Northeastern's academic community postdoctoral researchers fields who are considering faculty careers;
3) to enhance opportunities for academic careers for persons from diverse backgrounds who have demonstrated a commitment to an inclusive faculty and an inclusive academic experience for all students;
4) to prepare Future Faculty Fellows for possible tenure-track appointments at Northeastern;
5) to enhance the academic environment of Northeastern disciplines by providing opportunities for students and faculty to gain experience in multi-cultural, broadly diverse and inclusive work settings and research collaborations that improve the capacity of all their members.
