Now more than ever, it is a challenging environment in which to be a Provost or VP for Faculty Affairs. Hiring and retaining a diverse faculty body, combating issues of disengagement and faculty climate, constant leadership turnover at multiple levels, and the pressure to maintain competitive and relevant offerings in a compressed enrollment market are all challenges that academic leaders must navigate on a daily basis. In light of these challenges, Provosts and Faculty Affairs leaders—otherwise lone wolves on their campuses—are in greater need than ever of spaces where they can connect with peers across the nation, discuss common challenges, and exchange ideas.

Join us for an ongoing discussion series designed specifically for Provosts and Faculty Affairs leaders. Each month, we’ll convene a group of panelists to discuss important and complex issues that are shaping your work as an academic leader, such as:

• Rethinking promotion & tenure
• Fostering faculty engagement and belonging
• Developing academic leaders within your institution
• Academic program innovation
• Advancing your DEI mission in today’s climate
• Navigating academic restructuring
• Supporting career-track and mid-career faculty
• Expanding your institution’s research footprint
• Preventing and confronting academic bullying

Sessions will be added on an ongoing basis. Check back soon for more!
