Faculty search committee workshops scheduled for fall

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

The workshop, which is required for all faculty and administrators serving on a current faculty search committee, will be held at the following times:

• Aug. 24 (T): 1-5 p.m. Stewart Center, Room 218.
• Sept. 13 (M): 1-5 p.m. Purdue Memorial Union, North Ballroom.
• Oct. 28 (Th): 1-5 p.m. Purdue Memorial Union, East and West Faculty Lounges.

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 register online for one of the workshops. Those interested are encouraged to register as soon as possible due to the high demand for these workshops.

Questions should be directed to De Bush at djbush@purdue.edu. The workshop and registration information is also available on the workshop webpage.
