SUNY New Faculty Open Mic Program, Fall 2025

The SUNY New Faculty Open Mic Program is designed to support the work of new tenure track colleagues in their first three years across the State University of New York. This Peer Mentoring Program offers new faculty an opportunity to talk about vital issues as teachers, scholars and advisors.

Offered at no cost to tenure-track faculty at all 64 SUNY campuses, the New Faculty Open Mic Program is a biweekly Zoom series designed to support faculty in their first two years (since Fall 2023). Registration is now open!
