Dual-Career Assistance

Downloads

In recent years, dual-career issues have emerged as an important consideration in faculty development at selective research universities across the nation. Dual-career households now constitute the majority (65%) of households in the U.S. (Clayman Institute for Research on Gender, 2008). The Office of Faculty Development and Diversity (FD&D) works closely with colleagues across the university to develop dual-career programs that enhance each School's ability to recruit and retain faculty who must relocate to accept a position. These programs have been designed to assist the accompanying spouse or partner in identifying career opportunities.
