Faculty Collaboration and Engagement

|
The Forum Fellows would like to welcome you to campus!
Please stop by The Faculty Crossing, make yourself an espresso, and settle in for a chat with a colleague or a quiet place to work.
The Faculty Crossing is a technology-rich collaboration space for faculty and teaching staff of all appointments. Part workroom, part café, Faculty Crossing provides a welcoming environment that promotes creativity and innovation and is located next to the Center for Teaching and Learning, where you’ll find excellent resources and knowledgeable consultants.
The Forum Fellows are committed to our primary objective of building community and collaboration for faculty and teaching staff of all rank and appointment and across schools and disciplines. In addition to visiting Faculty Crossing, there are a variety of ways to connect. We welcome new faculty to tune into our Herron Faculty Residency Teach Talks (coming soon), submit to the Digital Teaching Repository, or join in on the weekly Forum Fellow Writing Groups.
Reach out to Fellows Aimee Zoeller and Pamela Laucella at ude[dot]iupui[at]ssorccaf with questions. They are eager to meet and welcome you!

As a scholar, you want colleagues and funders to find and access your work easily. A little work on your digital identity can make a big difference in the visibility of both you and your work. Your presence on relevant social media platforms can help you reach scholars and practitioners in your field.
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.
Some practical strategies include:
- Create a free ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) and make it publicly visible.
- Let ORCID automatically add your publications, funding, and more to your profile.
- Include your ORCID link in your social media profiles.
- Share your work freely, whenever possible. More access leads to more readers. Check out IUPUI ScholarWorks.
- When you share a new publication or presentation, use a stable, persistent link (DOI or handle) to an open access/free copy.
- Engage with others to start a conversation or build on existing conversations at conferences and events.
- Use relevant hashtags, no more than four at once.

“The Enhanced Mentoring Program with Opportunities for Ways to Excel in Research (EMPOWER) Program provides support to faculty who are from historically underrepresented and/or excluded populations in their discipline or area of scholarship.
This program, sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and the Office for Women, links tenure-track faculty with mentorship and up to $10,000 in research funding.”
– Willie Miller, M.L.S., Associate Librarian
