The Office of Faculty Advancement is pleased to announce a workshop series for underrepresented junior faculty to be held in 2008. Building upon the successes of the 2006-2007 Minority Faculty Collective Resources for Diversity (CORD) project, this series will provide faculty participants an opportunity to gain strategies and resources for better navigating institutional processes related to research, teaching, tenure, merit and promotion. Caroline C. Simpson (Associate Professor of English) and Rick C. Bonus (Associate Professor of American Ethnic Studies), leaders of the original CORD project, will facilitate these meetings.
The goals of these workshops are to:
--Establish and sustain a university-wide network of support for pre-tenure, underrepresented faculty--Create a structure for communication between underrepresented junior faculty and the Office of Faculty Advancement
--Increase the retention, promotion, and overall success of underrepresented faculty at the UW
