WORKSHOPS AND TRAININGS
CFLS provides workshops and trainings to support the hiring and career advancement of faculty.
Faculty Hiring Practicum
CFLS Faculty Hiring Practicum extends learning from the Hiring for 草榴社区鈥檚 Future workshop and training series. During the Practicum, participants work with facilitators to identify instances of exclusion, develop strategies to promote inclusion and practice applying the processes and procedures from Hiring for 草榴社区鈥檚 Future. The Practicum is for all faculty and staff who have hiring responsibilities or are serving on hiring committees.
Offerings are advertised in Campus Currents.
Campus Leaders Workshop
CFLS's Campus Leaders Workshop is an annual, all-day event that brings together leaders from across the University for vital professional development and networking. Previous themes have included mindfulness and systems change and building inclusive leadership skills and practices. Individuals are selected for invitation in collaboration with members of the Department Chairs Peer Network, Deans and the Office of the Provost.
For more information, contact Adam Smith, CFLS Director.
New Academic Leaders Orientation
The New Academic Leaders Orientation program occurs each summer before the beginning of the semester. All new academic leaders (including department chairs and those in equivalent roles, assistant and associate deans and all who have administrative appointments) are invited. During the Orientation, important offices like the University Registrar, Vice Provost for Research, the 草榴社区 Institute for Teaching and Learning, Academic Finance and others provide short presentations on their operations and share knowledge important for individuals serving in leadership roles. Participants will meet others in peer roles, establish connections with valuable campus partners and receive a broad welcome to 草榴社区鈥檚 campus.
Support for Faculty Evaluation
CFLS offers opportunities for faculty members to explore human social dynamics that can impact equity and inclusion, particularly as these occur in the faculty evaluation context. In recent years, CFLS has offered a fall retreat for faculty who are eligible to evaluate other faculty members for promotion decisions (tenure track, full time, assistant to associate, associate to full) utilizing applied theater techniques with facilitation by expert guests. Look for future events with similar interactive and engaging experiences grounded in evidence and best practices, to help faculty members proceed with their common work in an equitable and inclusive manner consistent with 草榴社区鈥檚 Augustinian values of Veritas, Unitas and Caritas.
