Now in its 16th year, the Council for the Advancement of Higher Education Programs (CAHEP) offers an Early Career Faculty Workshop to assistant professors, new associate professors in higher education programs, and advanced doctoral students at the dissertation stage who intend to become faculty.

A diverse group of recently tenured faculty and senior scholars from around the country share advice and expertise about how to craft and develop a research agenda, effectively teach and advise, earn tenure and promotion, and shape a successful and meaningful career. 

Who should attend:

  • Pre-tenured faculty members
  • Early Career Clinical or Adjunct Faculty
  • Administrators who have recently joined the faculty at any rank

Learning/Event Outcomes:

After the workshop, attendees will be able to:
  • Identify opportunities and challenges associated with earning P&T at different institutional types.
  • Apply advice from senior scholars towards becoming an effective instructor and advisor.
  • Describe one approach for developing and maintaining a research agenda as a faculty member. 
  • Commit to one strategy for developing a reasonable but productive service activity. 
The workshop will be held virtually on September 20th.  An in-person social coffee break will be offered at the conference in conjunction with ASHE’S sponsored coffee break on Thursday, November 17th. More details to follow.
