Description:

A university campus offers many avenues for faculty to grow and engage throughout their careers. It’s never too soon or too late to explore the possibilities.

Join us for a discussion of the Department Chair position. Learn what the job entails and what a typical day in the life of a department chair looks like. What are the benefits and rewards of serving as a chair? Is there any point too early or too late in one’s career to become a chair? Is there life after being a chair?  We’ll explore all of this and more.

Suggested Readings:

Don't Cry for Me, Academia!, Kevin Dettmar
A Little Patience Goes A Long Way, Josh Boldt
