<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We value your commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. As a way to demonstrate your advocacy, please encourage your institution’s full-time tenure track and tenured faculty
of color to register for the 6th cohort of our program. Another way to show your support for this much needed professional development opportunity is through sponsorship. Due to the ongoing pandemic and the uncertainty of each colleges’ fiscal situation, our
programming has been temporarily scaled back. Therefore, our registration fees have been significantly reduced this year. The silver lining to these difficult adjustments is that it’s more feasible for you to support faculty participation in our program. </span><b><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p style="background:white"><b><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We also ask that you share this registration information with key administrators such as your Instructional Deans and Department Chairs, who connect directly with faculty on
a daily basis and can invite them to register for the program. <b><i><u>Individualized and intentional invitations from leadership</u></i></b> have been effective for outreach with this program. </span><b><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Research demonstrates that mentoring is a high impact practice for the retention of Black, Indigenous and other faculty of color in higher education. As such, our program provides
critical support for new and senior faculty. We are excited about offering a culturally relevant, collective mentoring model to accommodate participants online this year. The CIFoCMP also builds a sense of community and increases opportunities for networking.
Grounded in research and theory, all our efforts are intentional in design and meant to empower faculty of color who are often isolated in their respective institutions due to underrepresentation. </span><b><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We greatly appreciate your leadership and support for Black, Indigenous and other faculty of color. The advisory board looks forward to continuing a collaborative partnership
as you work towards fulfilling your institutional commitments to diverse faculty who bring a wealth of talent and multicultural ways of knowing that benefit our student body. </span><b><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
