Happy 25th anniversary to the Faculty Fellowship Publication Program (FFPP)! In celebration of twenty-five years of success, I’d like to share my experience as a mentee in FFPP. This semester I am participating in the program under the mentorship of Professor Anahi Viladrich from Queens College. Professor Viladrich selflessly volunteers her time and expertise to nurture, support, and challenge our group of early-career scholars. Our cohort consists of six exceptional untenured professors from across CUNY campuses. Together, we workshop each other’s manuscripts, discuss our research goals, and support each other in our shared goal of publishing our work and advancing toward tenure. The program offers a unique chance to collaborate with and gain feedback from colleagues across many disciplines. This opportunity, available to all full-time untenured faculty, has been invaluable to me. I implore any interested faculty to apply in the coming years! And check out the 25th Anniversary Celebration on Friday, April 28th, at CUNY Central.
