The Garnet & Black Associate Professors Program is a year-long, mid-career professional development initiative designed to invest in the personal and professional success of associate professors at the University of South Carolina. The program is open to tenured Associate Professors on the USC Columbia campus who have been tenured for at least 2 years.
Programs support the development and promotion of A&S tenure-track, tenured and professional track faculty. There are three distinct programming tracks: Early-Career Faculty, Mid-Career Faculty, and Faculty of Color. Although the individual sessions are designed for a target audience, college faculty are welcome to attend any session that might be of interest.
