This workshop will focus on how chairs and other unit leaders can effectively engage and support early-career faculty. Potential topics for discussion include: processes and practices departments and department chairs should have in place to on-board new faculty, including faculty who have joint appointments or start mid-year; common pitfalls early-career faculty encounter and how department chairs can help them avoid or navigate these pitfalls; best practices for integrating early-career faculty into the department/unit; how a chair’s role with and strategies for early-career faculty change based on the unit size; and how department chairs should address issues that may be particularly salient to early-career women faculty, URM faculty, and faculty from other underrepresented groups.

Speakers:

• Brain Reed, Professor and Chair; Professor, English; Comparative Literature, Cinema, and Media
  
• Mike Bragg, Dean; Professor, College of Engineering; Aeronautics and Astronautics
