Minnesota’s Mesabi Tribune quoted Michigan Tech alum Molly Johnson ’13 (B.S. Civil Engineering) in a story about women working in Minnesota’s mining industry in recognition of International Day of Women in Mining.

Michigan Tech faculty serving on faculty search committees and tenure and promotion (TPR) committees are required to complete a course 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. 

The requirements for completing this workshop are as follows: 

• The full workshop is a three-week asynchronous course in Canvas facilitated by fellow faculty members.

• For those who have already taken the full workshop, we offer one-week “refreshers” that include new trends and research-based activities. 

• A refresher workshop is required every four years to maintain “current” status. Faculty must be current to serve on a faculty search or TPR committee.

• Those with expired status are required to take the full workshop.

• Each semester we offer one full workshop and two refreshers.

The workshop is managed by fellow faculty members in collaboration with Academic Affairs, Equal Opportunity Compliance and Title IX, and the Office of Community Engagement. 

Enrollment Is Now Open for Academic Year 2026-27!
Use the Schedule and Registration page to choose the best course for you and then use the Faculty Hiring and Review Workshop Registration form to indicate your preferred workshop. You will receive an enrollment confirmation email from the Faculty Hiring and Review account in Human Resources. Please allow 48 business hours for confirmation!

Use the Workshop Status page to check when your current status expires (ISO login required).

Please plan your completion of the workshop and refresher courses in advance. These courses have enrollment caps and cannot be provided on demand. The provost will not make exceptions. New faculty are encouraged to enroll in the full workshop in the spring semester of their first year. Faculty enrolling in a refresher course to maintain their current status must complete the refresher before the end of the semester listed in the “Faculty Training Valid Through” column on the Workshop Status page. If your status will expire while you are on sabbatical, you need to enroll in a course before you leave on sabbatical to maintain your status. 

If you have any questions, please contact the workshop coordinator, Associate Professor Sarah F. Scarlett, at sfscarle@mtu.edu or 906-487-2110.
