Attendees will get answers to such questions as: With whom should they discuss and share their work? What are some useful guidelines for selecting a topic, developing a writing schedule, and completing the article, essay, or book? Why is it important to read and cite other major contributors in the area in which you write? What strategies should they use to place their work? What should they be thinking about to best meet their objectives? Why is a scholarly reputation important? How can they enhance opportunities to present their work at conferences and external faculty workshops? Is it worthwhile to cultivate a social media presence? How can writing op-eds support a scholarly reputation? How does one determine whether their institution values their online contributions? What is the best way to use research assistants? How does one create and capitalize on synergies between teaching and scholarship? When and how should one say “no” to various administrative requests?
