Promotion and Tenure Seminars
Spring 2013

The Office of Faculty Affairs is hosting a Promotion and Tenure Seminar series. The events are open to faculty members seeking promotion, heads, mentors, executive and search committee members, and others involved in the P&T process.

Each workshop is geared to a specific rank and encompasses all disciplines. A workshop for underrepresented faculty is provided as well as a workshop aimed at post mid-probationary, pre-tenure faculty. These events are open to faculty members seeking promotion, heads, mentors, senior faculty serving as paper preparers, mentors and others involved in the P&T process.  Faculty from any discipline may attend any session.

All sessions will include a review of the relevant promotion and tenure processes and will cover topics including the mid-probationary review, preparing the dossier, research expectations, teaching, and service. Speakers include Renee Taylor, Interim Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs, and recent members of the campus P&T committee. Please see below for more detailed information.

The seminars will provide a forum where experienced faculty will provide information and offer advice for potential candidates to position themselves for successful promotion and tenure. They will also provide a valuable opportunity for candidates to ask questions about preparing for promotion and tenure review. The events are designed to help faculty members in their plans to seek promotion.
