Teaching
Academy

graduate, and outreach teaching and learning.

Faculty Bridge Program
The Bridge Program is designed to further the University's strategic
planning initiatives through the hiring of individuals who will contribute
to the institution's goal of preeminence. This includes the hiring
of individuals who contribute to Purdue’s diversity. Specifically,
the bridge program facilitates the placement of such candidates and
the spouses or partners of newly hired faculty and key staff in faculty
positions by providing partial, temporary funding to the hiring department.
For spouse/partner hires, typically the department making the initial
faculty hire also contributes to the spouse/partner's salary, as does
the department hiring the spouse/partner. Usually each area, including
the Provost Office, contributes one-third of such salary for up to
two years, at which point the spouse/partner's department assumes
the full cost. The program is geared toward spouses and partners of
newly hired faculty and key staff – not established faculty and staff.
