Non-tenure track (NTT) faculty, full-time and part-time, serve in a wide variety of roles in research and teaching (including teaching in clinical settings) and many of the University’s most important endeavors would be impossible without the contributions of such faculty.  At RIT, non-tenure faculty include lecturers, research faculty, visiting faculty, clinical faculty, and adjuncts and are typically part-time or limited term employees.

Unlike more traditional programs which rely on classroom training and events which may be interesting but disconnected from your responsibilities and requirements, our Academic Leadership Development program is grounded in research and best practice, multi-faceted, and designed to meet your needs.  The Academic Leadership Development resource portal contains tools, resources and materials to provide just-in-time support when you need it most. In addition to the department head resource portal and general development resources, there are several articles related to the academic leader’s professional development available to you.
