Promoting Equity and Inclusive Excellence in Senate Faculty Recruitment

Best Practices Information Sessions

Senate faculty search committees are required to attend a best practices session before reviewing files. This replaces the sessions previously held by Equity Advisors. Departments, schools, or other units are also welcome to schedule dedicated sessions. 

Our open-to-all sessions will continue to be added as need arises. Please register for the open session on Thurs, Jan 8th at 4 p.m.
