The Reinert Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning and the Office of the Faculty Affairs are pleased to announce a call for registrations for the 22nd annual Academic Portfolio Retreat. The Academic Portfolio Retreat is designed to assist faculty in the preparation of third-year, tenure, and promotion dossiers.

All participants must commit to full participation in both days of the retreat.

Retreat Details

• When: Friday, March 1, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, March 2, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Who: Tenure-track and non-tenure track faculty preparing for third-year review, tenure or promotion. Seating is limited to 25.
• Cost: Departments are asked to contribute $100 per participant toward the cost of materials and meals. All other costs are covered by the Office of the Provost.
• How: Registration involves a two-step process: First, faculty who wish to participate must complete the online registration form. Second, department chairs must complete a Statement of Support form, indicating their commitment to paying the registration fee.  All registration materials, including the signed Statement of Support form, must be submitted no later than Monday, Jan. 21.

The retreat will be facilitated by Marilyn Miller, Ph.D., formerly the director of the University of Missouri Program for Excellence in Teaching and an educational consultant at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Miller is co-author of Building an Academic Portfolio: A Guided Workbook, a practical, hands-on guide for developing an academic dossier, which participants will receive at the retreat. During the retreat, participants will write about, reflect upon and organize evidence of their teaching, research and service, in preparation for tenure or promotion review.

The retreat also provides faculty with an opportunity to come together across disciplines, as a teaching and research community, for conversation and mentoring. Participants will begin working on a preliminary draft of their academic portfolio.
