Accepting Applications for CANOPI

February 11, 2026

This message was shared with faculty on February 11, 2026.

The Office for Faculty Excellence & Academic Culture is accepting applications for the Spring 2026 session of CANOPI. CANOPI uses a 3:1 mentee/mentor model to facilitate the development of professional involvement narratives for Drexel faculty members. The development of professional involvement narratives provides an opportunity for faculty to reflect on past accomplishments with an eye towards future professional goals. Participants will be paired with experienced Drexel faculty from various colleges who will serve as mentors and will also serve as peer reviewers for fellow participants grouped with the same mentor.

The program, which runs twice a year during the fall and spring quarters, is open to all Drexel faculty members who have completed two or more years of service at Drexel, including adjunct faculty members. Priority consideration will be given to applicants who plan to utilize their narratives for upcoming professional or developmental activities.

Space is limited, and we encourage faculty who wish to take advantage of the program to apply by March 18, 2026. For questions, please contact Prof. Mesha Hunte-Brown at meh27@drexel.edu, or the Office for Faculty Excellence & Academic Culture at facultyaffairs@drexel.edu.
