By Dr. Karen Dace, Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Although I’m not fond of stories detailing “how it used to be” in the good (or bad) old days, sometimes recalling my insecurities as a junior faculty member, coupled with questions about where to go for answers to a myriad of questions about promotion and tenure, makes me wish opportunities like NCFDD existed back then.
Today, IUPUI faculty and graduate students receive advice each Monday morning from their “virtual mentor” at NCFDD prompting them to finish a project, giving step-by-step instructions on how to get their research back on track, and even offering guidance on how to tactfully decline multiple invitations and to say “no” to committee service that will take time away from writing. IUPUI faculty continue to sing NCFDD’s praises and credit these weekly messages with helping them complete and submit their work to conferences and for publication. If you’re not receiving NCFDD’s Monday Morning Motivators, join for free today.
This is a resource you do not want to miss!

In 2017, IUPUI established Indiana University’s membership with the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium, or HERC. As a member institution of the Greater Chicago Midwest HERC, IUPUI has access to a wealth of resources such as webinars, blog posts, and toolkits, all designed to support your work related to diversity, equity, and inclusion—you can find quick links in this one-pager.
Along with its existing tools for recruitment, HERC hosts a virtual networking platform,
HERConnect, through which to collaborate and share ideas and practices with other higher education professionals. All employees are welcome to sign up for an individual portal account and access these helpful resources.
