10228 - Department Leaders Preconference: Leading Through Uncertainty

Description

Registration is required.
Today’s rapidly evolving higher education landscape presents increasing challenges for department leaders. As the discipline navigates heightened tensions, building stronger, more resilient departments is critical to its future, and department leaders are in need of more comprehensive approaches to tackling today’s challenges.

This preconference is designed for chairs and directors of graduate and undergraduate studies to connect with peers, share insights, and develop strategies needed to navigate conflict, policy shifts, and institutional change. Discussions will examine:
• the impact of federal and state policies
• evolving faculty expectations and evaluations
• strategies for supporting teaching
• attracting and retaining majors
• best practices for program reviews, and more.

Join us for a day of engagement, practical takeaways, and peer support as we tackle the pressing issues facing sociology departments today.
