We are thrilled that you are interested in Proud to Be First's Faculty Connect Program. The goal of Faculty Connect is to facilitate the development of meaningful academic, research and pre-professional connections between second-year, first-gen students and faculty. This year, we invite students and faculty to consider, in particular, how research can shape their academic, co-curricular, and pre-professional journeys here at CAS and beyond.
The time commitment for Faculty Connect is a mere three hours over the semester: Each faculty-student pair meets for coffee and pastries courtesy of Proud to Be First. In the second half of the semester, the same student-faculty pairs meet for lunch at NYU’s Torch Club, also courtesy of Proud to Be First, to continue their conversations. The total time commitment is a mere three hours over the entire semester (although we encourage you to meet more often if you like!). Meetings can include conversations on any or all of the following: research/academic interests, questions about the college experience and beyond, graduate school, professional issues, and trajectories and allied fields.
