Career: Navigating the Tenure Process Roundtable

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Brief Overview

Given the time and effort required to simply attain a tenure-track position, it is easy to find oneself underprepared for what comes next, once the tenure clock starts ticking. This roundtable aims to bring together senior faculty and administrators in order to share some tips and tricks for junior faculty members who are actively seeking tenure or promotion. The focus of discussion will be how to develop concrete strategies in the early stages of one’s career in order to make progress toward tenure and promotion, as well as more specific stages along the way such as preparing for mid-term review or assembling a tenure packet.
