8th Annual Future Faculty Career Exploration Program
The Future Faculty Career Exploration Program is one of a series of recruitment strategies designed to fuel the future pipeline of faculty at Rochester Institute of Technology. This innovative program furthers RIT's goal of diversifying our faculty by bringing in students, nearing the end of their doctoral studies, for an all-expense-paid trip to Rochester, NY to receive the "RIT Treatment." Our program has been referred to as “TIRIT -Total Immersion in RIT” by a previous FFCEP participant. We have been able to boast several successful hires as a result.
