The Faculty Advancement Network is a consortium of research universities collaborating to advance excellence through a thriving professoriate. The consortium members are leaders in faculty affairs, advancement, development, diversity, inclusion and graduate education who agree: systemic challenges demand collaborative solutions.
Participants meet throughout the year with their colleagues at Cornell and also with colleagues from other institutions attending the Ivy+FAN Institutes.
