Faculty serving on search committees and tenure and promotion (TPR) committees are required to complete a course now called the Faculty Hiring and Review Workshop. The workshop covers high-impact practices for attracting the best candidates, required steps for search committees, legal aspects of hiring, and approaches for successfully promoting and retaining faculty.
Training Details
- The full workshop is a 3-week asynchronous course in Canvas facilitated by fellow faculty members.
- For those who have already taken the full workshop, we offer 1-week “refreshers” that include new trends and research.
- A refresher workshop is required every 4 years to maintain current status. Faculty must be current to serve on a search or PTR committee.
- Those with expired status are required to take the full workshop.
Each semester we offer 1 full workshop and 2 refreshers.
Summer 2025 Updates
This summer, the workshop website and enrollment process are being updated.
A full announcement with updated enrollment instructions will appear in August in TechToday and will be sent to deans and chairs. Faculty who were enrolled in the Spring semester workshops that were canceled will have priority enrollment for next year’s workshops and will get an extra year to maintain their status without taking the full workshop.
