Experienced professors will share advice on common topics of concern to both newer professors and more experienced professors as well. Breakout sessions such as Teaching, Scholarship, Service and Thriving at Your Institution will allow for more interactive discussions. Participants will drive discussion topics, which may include preparing to teach a course for the first time; designing effective and efficient assessments; strategies for reaching today’s students; handling challenges to your authority from students or colleagues; finding and using mentors and writing groups; selecting scholarship topics; navigating the law review submission process; selecting and using research assistants; scholarship for personal joy as well as professional success; navigating intra-faculty relationships; navigating the tenure and promotion process; tips for getting the most out of an annual review with the dean; finding and using personal champions; and making service matter.
