The Center for Faculty Excellence announces a special 15-week opportunity for tenure-eligible faculty members preparing their file for the 4th (or midterm) review. Participants will set weekly goals and share progress with other members. They will be expected to share drafts of their narrative or organizational structure and to review the materials of at least one other participant.

Designers and facilitators are Howard Kalman, Julia Lapp, and Susanne Morgan. The seminar begins on October 14, the first day of Fall Break, and ends at the end of January. A concluding gathering will feature presentations of their files by the members. The seminar uses the Blackboard system and will provide links to multiple resources related to preparing a file.

This pilot seminar is limited to faculty with a January deadline for their review file. Those who are preparing their file for tenure may join the seminar as non-participants in order to review the resources. Depending on assessment of the pilot, a similar seminar for those preparing tenure files may be offered in the spring.

Interested faculty should register using this online form.
