Whether you are running a lab, meeting with your TAs, chairing a committee or department, meetings are how we do much of the work of the academy. In this interactive workshop, you will explore best practices for hosting and contributing to effective and inclusive meetings.
The workshop will engage participants in material, exercises, and conversations about their own leadership and how to support others under change and uncertainty. We will examine topics including associate/assistant deans’ dual role of authority figure and support person, self and other-awareness, and the unique needs of faculty and staff during times of uncertainty.
Ready to let go of imposter syndrome? With equal parts humor and wisdom, this session offers easy-to-learn tools to quiet the internal messages of fear and self-judgement so you can gain more confidence in your authentic voice.
Starting to identify and connect with mentors is key to navigating your first year – here’s an opportunity to get to know a mentor over a meal! For this event for new tenure-track faculty, we request that you identify a member of your mentoring team to attend the event with you.
These workshops provide a supportive space for non-tenure-track faculty, including clinical faculty, extension faculty, lecturers, and research faculty, to share different approaches, ask questions, and get started.
