Scholars involved in the Bridge to Faculty initiative gathered recently with staff to welcome new scholars as well as to congratulate scholars who have transitioned to faculty status. Diversity officials at the University of Illinois Chicago are announcing a new cohort of Bridge to Faculty scholars as they celebrate the initial group of scholars transitioning to become UIC faculty members. The Bridge to Faculty program , which is entering its third year, is designed to increase faculty diversity at UIC. The program, also known as B2F, was created in the summer of 2019, and this fall welcomes seven new scholars. The 2022 scholar cohort was recognized at a recent in-person reception honoring the new scholars, continuing scholars and new faculty members. UIC Interim Chancellor Javier Reyes said the program has been such a success that many Hispanic-Serving Institutions across the country are developing similar initiatives to diversify faculty. He congratulated all the scholars and departments for creating an environment to champion diversity.
