Department Chairs and Directors Workshop

The Department Chairs and Directors Training Workshops are designed to address the needs of current and experienced chairs, faculty and administrators of academic units.

Human Resource Services collaborates with the Office of the Provost to coordinate this annual series addressing such topics as faculty performance reviews, personnel issues, recruitment, leadership and communication.

Faculty Development

This session is aimed at getting you acquainted with WSU resources and policies as well as best practices pertaining to faculty support. What are WSU’s faculty friendly policies? What are the WSU offices to which you should be referring your faculty for support? What are some things you should or should not say as a chair with regard to faculty support? What are some of the rank-specific challenges faculty face throughout their careers? How can you be more mindful in the way you assign service to faculty knowing that women and faculty from underrepresented groups shoulder a disproportionate amount of it? How can you recognize and reward your faculty’s hard work through effective award nominations?

Date: Jan. 14

Time: 9:30 – 11 a.m.
