The Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Program at Marquette University encourages the development of graduate students for their multiple roles they will face as faculty members.  

Sponsored by the Graduate School, in collaboration with the Center for Teaching and Learning, the PFF program provides graduate professional development opportunities.   Numerous workshops are scheduled throughout the academic year geared particularly for graduate students interested in careers in academia.  In addition to PFF-sponsored workshops, a number of Marquette departments and programs provide educational opportunities for PFF participants.  These events focus upon creating an awareness of issues affecting the future of higher education and upon developing the knowledge and skills necessary for success in the job market.  They also address pedagogic and professional issues to enhance the professional development of graduate students.  Students with career interests outside academia may find the programs on developing a résumé, building presentation skills, preparing for job interviews and other topics helpful.
