Retired Faculty Resources
Retired Faculty Leadership Council
The Retired Faculty Leadership Council helps UMass Boston understand and meet the needs of its retired faculty. It meets twice per year to discuss current topics on campus and make recommendations to further the mission of the retired faculty. It also has a rotating subcommittee that selects recipients for the Endowed Faculty Career Development Award. For more information, please contact: Provost@umb.edu.
Endowed Faculty Career Development Fund & Awards
The Retired Faculty Leadership Council sponsors the Endowed Faculty Career Development Award to provide financial support for scholarly research and professional development. Awards are given to one or two tenure-track faculty members annually. Donations to the Endowed Faculty Career Development Fund are greatly appreciated.
Three award recipients discuss how grants from the fund benefited their research.
