Tenured/Tenured Track Search Committee Training

This training offers faculty members instruction on developing successful search committees to move forward with the Faculty Hiring process. It is designed to assist users in preparing and implementing unit plans more efficiently and effectively to enhance the success of the search process. In this session, members of search committees explore ways to make maximum use of limited recruitment budgets while using techniques to gain a pool of diverse and qualified candidates. Participants will learn ways to strengthen their position postings, interview process, and documentation procedures.  The Office of Equal Opportunity also encourages faculty members who wish to attend training to review 'A Guide for Successful Searches' which addresses many questions and concerns.
