JSU INNOVATE Classroom, 1st Floor of the H.T. Sampson Library
Designed to help mid-career faculty understand and consider positions of academic leadership (e.g. departmental chair and program or center director), this workshop explores the traditional and "people" skills needed for success as an academic leader, considerations in strategically selecting service and leadership roles that can lead to success in future academic leadership positions, duties and responsibilities of departmental chairs, the workload of departmental chairs and the challenge of maintaining work-life balance, the extent to which faculty can and do maintain their own active research/creative agendas while in academic leadership positions, and changes in relationships with colleagues who one now supervises and/or evaluates.
Light refreshments will be provided.
