Success & Excellence

Success & Excellence is one of the six core values of the MCG Office for Faculty Affairs & Success and it is an intentional commitment to Faculty Affairs & Success for all. Historically, however, “faculty success for all” has often excluded women and minoritized faculty. Frequently, women experience fewer advancement and leadership opportunities, lower pay, and less access to resources for success.1,2 Although not mentioned as frequently in literature, other groups that are often excluded or allotted inadequate resources or opportunities include LGBTQ and international faculty. Much like women and racially minoritized groups, these faculty are at higher risk for burnout, dissatisfaction, and attrition.3

The MCG Office for Faculty Affairs & Success strives to address these barriers to career success for those who experience sexual/gender and/or racial/ethnic discrimination. We collect and disseminate literature monthly to department chairs/section chiefs/institute directors and on our social media. Media resources, linked on this page, provide information about the challenges these groups face and suggest ways to facilitate the development and advancement of all faculty. The MCG Office for Faculty Affairs & Success has sponsored and co-sponsored talks to mitigate career challenges, providing educational tools and resources to create a culture that promotes excellence and success for all.

 It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept,
and celebrate those differences. 

—Audre Lorde
