Mid-career faculty are at a pivotal point, facing questions about what’s next for their research, teaching, and careers while navigating the uncertainty of today’s rapidly changing higher education environment. Many feel stuck, stretched thin, or disconnected from the sense of purpose that once fueled their work.

How can faculty affairs leaders help them to reignite their passion, rediscover their focus, and build the confidence and skills needed to thrive?

Join us to explore proven strategies for designing integrated professional development that truly reengages mid-career faculty.  You’ll learn how to help them to reconnect to their purpose, strengthen their sense of agency, and develop the mindsets and leadership capacities needed for them to lead from where they are and make a lasting impact on your institution.

What you will gain:

• A clear framework for designing professional development that meets mid-career faculty where they are and helps them to move forward with purpose.
• Practical strategies to reframe common challenges such as low morale, limited engagement, and the need to strengthen faculty leadership pipelines.
• Approaches for creating spaces and communities that help mid-career faculty to reconnect to their purpose, regain focus, and advance their careers with renewed energy.
• Insights and examples from institutions that have successfully built programs empowering faculty to demonstrate leadership in their teaching, research, service, and career progression.

To preserve an intimate and productive experience, this workshop is capped at 30 attendees.
