Upcoming ADVANCE Sessions for Faculty Thinking of Applying for Promotion to Full Professor

This February, the ADVANCE team will be hosting both a Q&A session and a writing workshop for faculty looking to learn more about the new guidelines related to promotion to full professor. Full details for both sessions are listed below:

Promotion to full professor: Your questions answered about the Holistic Faculty Development Plan
Wednesday, Feb. 2 | 10:30 a.m.–noon | Zoom link provided upon registration
Co-facilitated by Jean Jacoby and Jodi O'Brien

Beginning in fall 2022, all faculty applying for promotion to full professor are required to develop a “Holistic Faculty Development Plan” (HFDP) that articulates their own professional trajectory and interests.

Building on the informational sessions held in December 2021 (slides available on the SU ADVANCE site here), this Winter Quarter Zoom session includes general Q&A, as well as small-group discussion. All faculty who have questions about the new guidelines, the new HFDP requirement and/or the promotion process are welcome to attend. 

Please register at this link by Jan. 30. You will then receive the meeting information and the Zoom link.

Writing workshop for faculty applying to full professor in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024
Wednesday, Feb. 16 | 10–11:30 a.m. | Zoom link provided upon registration
Co-facilitated by Jean Jacoby and Jodi O'Brien

If you are seeking promotion to full professor in the next two years, then this writing workshop is for you. 

The university’s revised promotion guidelines for full professor include a new requirement for faculty to develop their own “Holistic Faculty Development Plan” (HFDP), beginning Fall 2022. The HFDP provides faculty an opportunity to articulate their own individual professional trajectory and interests.  

This online workshop offers support and opportunities for writing and reflection for those of you planning to apply for promotion in the next two years (i.e., submitting your promotion file in Fall 2022 or Fall 2023). Although an HFDP is an individual effort, facilitators will discuss some of the generalizable guiding principles that underpin this holistic plan. 

If you are unsure whether you will apply for promotion the next two years, please e-mail Sarah Trainer at trainers@seattleu.edu for more information.

Please register at this link by Feb. 9. You will then receive the meeting information and the Zoom link.
