By: Jenn Bellamy, Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs
You are invited to help shape faculty affairs for years to come at DU Summer Symposium ’24! DU Summer Symposium 2019, the first symposium of its kind at DU, brought faculty from across disciplines and ranks together for two days to discuss big ideas, possibilities, and opportunities for faculty affairs programming. Building on that model, please join us at this day and half long symposium focused on pressing issues for DU’s faculty. Symposium ‘24 will be held on campus Thursday and Friday, August 8th and 9th. All full and part-time appointed faculty are invited. Feel free to attend all or part of the Symposium. Once you register, we’ll send you more details about the schedule and you can choose how you want to participate.
Opportunities to participate will include:
- Learning opportunities aimed at providing participants an overview of current and past faculty affairs programming and data on the faculty experience including faculty recommendations from COACHE engagement programming
- Working groups focused on important areas of the faculty experience including mentoring, leadership development, mid-career support, and more. Participating faculty will be invited to join the working groups of most interest to them.
- Opportunities for feedback across each of the working group areas.
- Professional development opportunities to build faculty leadership skills.
- Opportunities to connect with colleagues over good food and great ideas.
For those not able to join in person, but still interested in participating, please register and we will provide you with details on how to offer your input virtually or in follow-on opportunities in the fall quarter.
I hope you will join us—I would love to see you there.
