Upcoming Workshops for Faculty Thinking About Their Scholarship and/or Promotion

The Center for Faculty Development is offering an interactive workshop this Spring designed to help you better articulate your scholarly agenda.

The Personal Intellectual Project: Capturing, focusing, and (re)inventing your scholarly agenda | Workshop | Register

Tuesday, May 2 | 2–3:30 p.m. | Casey Commons (CASY 530) | Tea and coffee provided | Includes an optional follow-up discussion session on Tuesday, May 16, 2–3 in CASY 530

In this session, we’ll provide a space for you to think through your own “Personal Intellectual Project”—the big-picture encapsulation of your different scholarly topics and agendas.

Through a structured process and interdisciplinary small-group conversation, you’ll be better placed to advocate for yourself and your scholarship and have a clearer vision of viable and enticing scholarly topics for the future.

The Center is also co-sponsoring a workshop facilitated by the SU ADVANCE team, which aims to help Associate Professors prepare for promotion to Full Professor under SU’s new promotion guidelines.
