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 early November.

The workshop, which is open to faculty and administrators and required for serving on a faculty search committee, will be held 1-5 p.m. on Aug. 20 and Sept. 16 in Purdue Memorial Union's East and West Faculty Lounges. Lunch items will be available.  The final fall 2019 workshop will be held 1-5 p.m. Nov. 6 in Purdue Memorial Union's East Faculty Lounge with lunch 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. 

Faculty and administrators planning to attend can register online for one of the workshops. 

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