University-Wide Programs
The FACET Scholars Program
The FACET Scholars program advances faculty research, with guidance from a nationally or internationally known mentor/scholar in the faculty member’s area of study. Through the program, each FACET Scholar carries out a research project with guidance from the mentor over the course of approximately 15 months. The program culminates each year with the presentation of the Scholars’ research at the annual Faculty Research Conference.
