See below for a program for graduate students who are underrepresented 
in their discipline. It is all-expense paid for participants who are 
interested in academic careers. I encourage you to distribute it to your 
graduate students or post-docs. (Apologies for cross-postings.)

Thanks!

*Building Future Faculty Program Now Accepting Applications for 2019*

The 2019 Building Future Faculty (BFF) program will be offered by NC 
State University on *Wednesday, April 3, 2019 - Friday, April 5, 2019*. 
This all-expenses paid workshop is designed for diverse graduate 
students and post-doctoral students who are preparing for a career as a 
faculty member.

Workshop topics include information regarding what to expect as a 
faculty member, a discussion of the wealth of resources available to 
faculty for teaching, and expectations of productivity for faculty 
engaged in research. During the workshop, participants will spend time 
with current faculty and department chairs in their discipline 
discussing effective strategies to prepare for an academic career, and 
the realities of life as a faculty member, as well as receiving personal 
tips and feedback. This program aims to increase faculty diversity and 
inclusion and to create a faculty that mirrors the increasingly 
diversified student population.

Past participants had the following things to say about the program:

  * "I especially enjoyed when an assistant professor started asking the
    department heads questions she would have had if she were in our
    shoes, since she is now junior faculty. I thought that was super
    useful and an awesome way to approach the types of questions early
    career people might not know they need to know."
  * "We got a glimpse into the job process from the hiring side. It was
    eye opening."
  * "I really appreciated that the Provost took time to answer some very
    serious questions that we had."
