Associate Professor Experimental (APX) Program

The transition to tenure marks a new phase in many faculty members’ careers, with new opportunities for leadership and scholarly growth. The Associate Professor Experimental (APX) program is a design thinking and flash funding retreat that aims to provide dedicated time and financial resources to recently tenured faculty. All newly tenured faculty are invited to a 4-day retreat in fall semester, during which faculty generate new scholarly collaborations with peers from different academic disciplines. Proposals generated during the retreat are considered for 1-year of seed funding through the program.

Newly promoted (tenured) associate professors

October 16-19, 2024

By invitation only. All assistant professors approved for promotion to associate professor with tenure are invited each spring.

All faculty, no matter where we are on our career path, benefit from support, training and mentorship.
