The Garnet & Black Associate Professors Program is a year-long, mid-career professional development initiative designed to invest in the personal and professional success of associate professors at the University of South Carolina. The program is open to tenured Associate Professors on the USC Columbia campus who have been tenured for at least 2 years.
The University of South Carolina is proud to be an institutional member of the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD). The NCFDD is a nationally recognized center that provides professional development and mentoring through a host of resources that are applicable across all fields of inquiry.
Programs support the development and promotion of A&S tenure-track, tenured and professional track faculty. There are three distinct programming tracks: Early-Career Faculty, Mid-Career Faculty, and Faculty of Color. Although the individual sessions are designed for a target audience, college faculty are welcome to attend any session that might be of interest.
