Cultivating Relationships within Your Department: Collegiality, Negotiation, and Difficult Conversations

Thursday, November 5, 2020 | 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.

Event Type: Webinar
Facilitator: Este Jordan

Departmental relationships are an important component of the pursuit of promotion and tenure. It is within the context of relationships that we receive and provide mentorship, contribute to department committees and faculty meetings, and develop a sense of community and belonging. Relationships are also the context in which we negotiate workload, committee assignments, class schedules, and annual goals. At times these relational aspects of faculty life come easily and at times we have to really work at them. Faculty in this interactive webinar will consider techniques they can use to effectively engage in negotiation, difficult conversations, and proactive relationship-building in order to thrive. Particular emphasis will be placed on the relational aspects of promotion, tenure, and annual reviews.
