Are you looking for an informal and casual place to gather with faculty to connect, reflect, share stories and ideas, and find community in this uncertain time? If so, join Dr. Paul Michalec (Faculty Fellow, OTL) and Dr. Laura Sponsler (Resident Scholar – Teaching and Professional Faculty) for a faculty unmeeting on Fridays at 10am, throughout the spring quarter. The goals for this unmeeting are simple: to be together, build new relationships, share teaching stories, and strengthen our community through conversation and reflection. WE invite all DU faculty in all ranks and series to join us for this drop-in session. No agenda. No program. Just an opportunity to log in and be present to your experiences and the stories of your colleagues.
The processes of promotion, reappointment, and tenure are consistent drivers of faculty stress, consternation, and insecurity. While faculty accomplishments accrue over years and often emerge through an organic process of growth and scholarly interest, the professional statement provides a strategic opportunity to guide your review committee in their analysis of your work. The statement should highlight important themes, identify patterns of contribution across areas, and offer a general frame for interpreting the breadth of your achievements. In short, it’s your opportunity to tell the powerful story of your work. This workshop will offer strategies for shaping myriad faculty accomplishments into a cohesive structure that will present a strong case for tenure, promotion, or reappointment.

Deans should send unit criteria defining unsatisfactory job performance and the rationale for the criteria to Kate by the end of winter quarter.
The path to tenure is well-worn, and the “up-or-out” culture makes the timeline unambiguous. Promotion to full is often shrouded in more mystery with variation in both the path and the timeline. Diversity in faculty representation also decreases across stage, with inequities that begin long before receipt of an advanced degree accumulating, sometimes exponentially. This loss of diverse perspectives among full professors results in enormous costs to individuals, units, administration, and the students and communities we collaborate with and serve. In this 2-hour workshop, we bring together a diverse panel of recently promoted full professors from different units across campus to share their struggles and successes in challenging myths and envisioning themselves as full. We are dedicated teacher-scholars, we serve, and we are people who balance and blend personal and professional obligations. We will first share panelists’ experiences and then work in small groups to support partic...
