Late Career Faculty

Late Career

Welcome to the later years of your career as a faculty member.

Perhaps you have spent decades in the classroom and lab, mentored countless students and junior colleagues, and built a distinguished record of scholarship and service. Maybe you are now a full professor, have taken on senior administrative roles, or are beginning to think about legacy, emeritus status, and the transition that lies ahead. You may be asking yourself what comes next, or how to channel your accumulated wisdom into meaningful contributions that outlast your formal appointment. No matter where you are on the continuum of late career, it can be complex, and often faculty find they need new kinds of resources.

Legacy Luncheon

October 6 at 11:30 a.m.

The Next Chapter: Honoring Legacy and Imagining What’s Ahead is a luncheon designed for late-career faculty who are beginning to think about transition, retirement, or the next season of their professional and personal lives. This gathering offers space to reflect on the meaning and impact of one’s career, honor the contributions faculty have made to students, colleagues, disciplines, and the institution, and consider what it means to move forward with purpose.
