Provost's Office to Host Faculty Professional Development Workshops
11/06/2020
The Office of the Provost will host a workshop series focused on faculty professional development in 2020 through 2021.
The workshops are part of the University’s institutional membership with the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD), an independent organization providing career development and mentoring resources for academics at all career stages.
About the Faculty Professional Development Workshops
The first session, “Building a Publishing Pipeline: Concrete Strategies for Increasing Your Writing Productivity,” will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 9, from 10 a.m. to noon. It will be conducted by Erin Furtak, Ph.D., of the University of Colorado-Boulder.
This session will help participants conceptualize all of their writing projects as moving through a pipeline, to facilitate daily progress and keep everything flowing towards publication. In this virtual workshop, participants will learn how to:
- Establish a sustainable daily writing practice
- Experiment with a tracking system to analyze where to focus their writing and research efforts
- Make a concrete action plan for moving several projects forward simultaneously
- Celebrate the process of moving their work from one stage of the pipeline to the next
The deadline to register is Wednesday, Dec. 2.

Information will be forthcoming for the series’ spring 2021 sessions.
