The 12-week-long FSP is a more individualized and intensive online program that offers small-group career/writing coaching. The per-participant cost of the FSP is not included in our institutional membership and is available at a significant additional cost per faculty participant.

At this time, only faculty at the associate professor rank are eligible to apply.
To apply for one of these slots, please submit an application to Tammy Still (tstill@colgate.edu) by Friday, May 31, 2024. Faculty will be notified by Monday, June 10. If you are awarded one of the slots, you may choose whether to enroll in the Fall 2024, Spring 2025, or Summer 2025 iteration of the FSP.
