Welcome to ARA!
The Advancement and Retention in Academe (ARA) Program was developed to support early faculty advancement and success through the professoriate by developing and implementing programming to: 1) build institutional mentoring capacity, 2) support faculty advancement via peer mentoring, and 3) increase faculty self-efficacy via professional development workshops. The mission of ARA is to provide programming that promotes a culture of mentoring and inclusivity and ensures that all UCR faculty regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, ability, age or religious affiliation feel welcome, respected and supported.
