Although the imposter syndrome or phenomenon (IP) is experienced by faculty in higher education，it is often more prevalent among graduate students and graduate student teachers (Blake-Hedges，C. 2018). This phenomenon，characterized by feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness，is at odds with evidence of the individual’s success and achievements. It isn’t uncommon for graduate student teachers to experience feelings of being an imposter or a fraud，but it’s crucial to acknowledge this phenomenon，understand its traits，and identify ways to overcome the stress and anxiety it often creates. This webinar is for graduate students who are currently teaching or interested in teaching in the future，as well as faculty interested in graduate student education. – April 08, 2021

Women in the academy，at KSU and nationally，have often contended with the “first shift and the second shift.” Now they must wrestle with the COVID-shift. Thus，whatever room for margin they once had is largely non-existent. The pandemic has at once required women to increase productivity in response to new and increased workloads professionally and personally while simultaneously restricting them in a paused state，treading water，with no clear indication of what is to come. For mothers in the academy，the current state of flux has been thrust upon them，yet perhaps this is an opportunity to redefine roles，expectations，trajectories，and ways to show up in support of one another. Join us to explore how COVID-19 is impacting women in the academy and to discuss strategies for supporting women's wellbeing and addressing the potential career implications，current and long-term. – April 01, 2021

This webinar is will share effective practices in cultivating relationships within our disciplines，as we seek to expand our networks and make our work known in preparation for securing external reviewer letters for promotion and tenure. Whether you have just started on the tenure track or are well on your way but are unsure about the steps to take to prepare for the external reviewer requirement of promotion and tenure，this workshop is for you. We will discuss lessons learned from KSU colleagues who have recently completed this process. We will then identify the steps we need to take to make progress in this area，and perhaps even reduce some of the anxiety that comes with it for so many faculty. – March 24, 2021

As part of KSU’s It's About Engagement initiative，this webinar will show how we can use the backward design process achieve your undergraduate research，service-learning，or internship-coop goals with students in a course. While many teachers plan their courses grounded in these design principles，there are unique challenges to consider in the context of It's About Engagement courses. What does backward design look like in your contexts? How might it help you envision your project，activity，or semester? Join this informational webinar to discover how backward design applies to an engaged curriculum. – March 22, 2021

This informational webinar will provide an overview of the TILT framework and why it is particularly effective for engaging and supporting the learning of students from traditionally underrepresented populations. Developing assignments with a clear purpose，explaining the task in full，and providing the criteria on which students will be evaluated contributes greatly to student success in your course—and the impact on historically underserved students is greater still. Join this webinar to learn how making a small change in your assignment descriptions can have a big impact on student learning! – March 17, 2021
