Starting Career Planning as Mid-Career Faculty

Online | October 29, 2025 | 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm ET

Event Information

Mid-career is often a turning point for faculty—some aspects of the work still spark joy and fulfillment, while others feel draining or disconnected from what matters most. This webcast will invite you to pause and reflect:

What energizes you in your academic life right now?
What leaves you feeling disengaged?

Through guided reflection and examples, you’ll explore how these questions can open the door to intentional career planning. You’ll also get a preview of our Mid-Career Moves course, which provides a step-by-step framework for creating a career plan that aligns with your values and goals. Join us to discover how clarifying what brings you joy—and what doesn’t—can be the starting point for mapping a sustainable and meaningful next stage in your career.

Who should attend?

Faculty who are in their mid-career (5-7 years into a faculty role), who are newly tenured, or who have been tenured for a while and are feeling stuck about what to do next will benefit most from this webcast. Additionally, faculty who are considering a pivot into leadership or other roles will be able to intentionally plan their next steps.
