Space will be limited for each retreat, so please sign up early if interested.

NC State’s Research Leadership Academy is hosting a junior faculty forum for assistant and non-tenured associate Faculty will have the opportunity to question a panel of senior faculty and university leaders about concerns and challenges as junior faculty in today’s research environment. A pizza and salad lunch will be provided. Register today and contact Laura Kroeger at lakroege@ncsu.edu with any questions.
The forum is a new event derived from what has traditionally been the morning session of the Research Retreat. Similarly to the Research Retreat, the topics discussed during the forum’s agenda should be of interest to all NC State faculty. Please note there is no registration fee for this year’s event, but participants should register as soon as possible so they can be included in all event communications and updates.
