Informational Session on Applying for Promotion to Full Professor

Wed, Dec. 8 | 10-11 a.m. | Zoom link provided upon registration OR
Thu, Dec. 9 | 9:30-10:30 a.m. | Zoom link provided upon registration

Co-facilitated by Jodi O'Brien (Principal Investigator, ADVANCE grant; Special Assistant to the Provost for Faculty Development) and Jean Jacoby (Co-Principal Investigator, ADVANCE grant; Associate Dean, College of Science & Engineering)

In June 2021, the SU Board of Trustees voted to formally adopt the SU ADVANCE proposed Revised Promotion Guidelines for Full Professor. The revisions go into effect immediately, although faculty seeking promotion in the 2021–2022 academic year are considered an "intermediate group" and therefore do not need to fulfill some of the new requirements, including the development of a "Holistic Faculty Development Plan" (HFDP).

Faculty seeking promotion in subsequent years will need to begin mapping out an HFDP. Ideally, this will be an opportunity to think deeply about intentional career development but we recognize that this represents a cultural and procedural shift for our faculty. Accordingly, an information session is being held via Zoom to discuss the HFDP in more depth. Due to popular demand, the session is running twice:

• Wednesday, Dec. 8 | 10-11 a.m.
• Thursday, Dec. 9 | 9:30-10:30 a.m.

The two sessions will cover the same material and will be facilitated by Jodi O'Brien and Jean Jacoby.

Mentoring is a key component of the HFDP. Training workshops are currently being conducted for faculty in evaluative positions (e.g., College/School personnel committees), but participation all senior faculty interested in mentoring other faculty are also invited to participate in this information session.

Please RSVP for one of these sessions by Dec. 1 using the Center for Faculty Development's Fall Events registration form.

You will be sent a Zoom link for the session. More information can also be found on the SU ADVANCE website.
