Description:

The New & Early Career Faculty Institute aims to equip new and early career faculty with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive at Northwestern. Through monthly, discussion-based small-group workshops with various Northwestern offices, participants will get the chance to network with colleagues and learn about campus resources.

Join us for a faculty panel discussion on navigating tenure. Moderated by Associate Provost for Faculty, Sumit Dhar, a panel of faculty members representing a variety of disciplines and schools will discuss general tips for navigating the tenure process and learning where to obtain information and resources.

Topics of discussion likely will include:

-General expectations, advice and tips for navigating the tenure process of a top-tier research university
-How to find information about general and school-specific expectations for tenure and obtain feedback
-How to find department, school or central resources that are available to help junior faculty members with research, teaching, service, well-being and personal challenges
-Advice on identifying and cultivating mentoring relationships
