| New Faculty Workshop
"Research Engagement"
Joshua Rosenbloom, Associate Vice Provost, Research & Graduate Studies,
and Jeff Moran, History
October 13, 12:00-1:30 p.m.
Hall Center Seminar Room
 
Join Jeff Moran and Joshua Rosenbloom for a discussion of what it means to be a faculty member at a Research I University. How does this designation impact the expectations for faculty research? How do these expectations relate to tenure and promotion guidelines? How is the university seeking to measure research engagement? How can you ensure you remain research active in the midst of teaching duties? The Hall Center's New Faculty Workshops seek to help new faculty members in the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts negotiate the first three years at KU. The workshops are an interactive forum in which speakers will provide a short talk before taking your questions.
The RSVP date for this event has passed. If you would like to attend but still have not responded, please contact the Hall Center at hallcenter@ku.edu or 785-864-4798. Attendance is still possible but lunch may not be available.
