Abstract	A well-designed professional development program can help first- and second-year faculty thrive in their new academic environment. Faculty developers must consider the length and frequency of such programs and their focus; requirements for participation; the role of mentors; ways to establish collegiality; and opportunities for developing the scholarship of teaching and learning. The Texas A&M University-Kingsville program currently enjoys a 94% retention rate of new faculty members, many of whom become teacher-scholars. A description of the program provides a framework to foster dialog about the purposes, costs, benefits, and results of investing in extended professional development for new faculty. (Contains 3 figures and 2 tables.) (As Provided).
