C-Hub

Programs and Activities

The goals of Professional Development and Inclusive Excellence (C-Hub) programs and activities are focused on supporting every individual’s professional development and capacity for growth. Our programs and activities are developed through an evidence-based, research-informed process in the context of a global, scientific research university:

• Individual consultations and programs to support excellence in mentorship, leadership, teaching, writing, collaboration, communication, etc.
• Support for grant applications (in collaboration with Grants and Research Collaborations Section).
• Certificate programs for graduate students and faculty in course development, effective and inclusive pedagogy, inclusive mentorship.
• Ongoing professional development workshops.
• Thematic workshops and seminars around areas of strategic interest.
• Regular, less formal discussions, interest/research working groups around areas of interest to staff and collaborators.
• “Seed grants” or other startup opportunities that encourage faculty and graduate students to propose innovative projects supported by C-Hub.
• Short fellowship programs for graduate students, postdocs, and faculty.
