Faculty search committee workshops scheduled for fall

ADVANCE Purdue is offering three fall sessions of the ADVANCE/OVPEC Faculty Search Committee Workshop in August, September and October.

The workshop, which is open to all faculty and administrators and required for serving on a search committee, will be held 1:15-5 p.m. on Aug. 27 and Sept. 18 in the Purdue Memorial Union's East and West Faculty Lounges. Lunch items will be available. The final fall 2018 workshop will be held 8:15 a.m.-noon Oct. 31 in Stewart Center, Room 206, with light breakfast items available.

The workshop provides an interactive opportunity to explore and discuss search strategies and challenges. It is research-based and includes important information on unintentional bias. The workshop is conducted in a roundtable format that offers opportunity for an in-depth discussion of faculty search best practices with other faculty members across campus, including how to build a robust and diverse candidate pool. 

Those faculty and administrators planning to attend can go online to register for one of the workshops. 

Any questions should be directed to De Bush at djbush@purdue.edu. The workshop and registration information is also available on the workshop webpage. Those interested are encouraged to register as soon as possible due to the high demand for these workshops.
