Most academic departments today employ adjunct faculty, but few Chairs are well-versed in the ins and outs of managing them. Adjuncts face unique challenges orienting to and integrating within the department, and as a Chair you must figure out how to support them effectively to ensure maximum productivity and a positive experience for both students and faculty. In this training, our expert will share strategies for successfully supporting adjunct faculty both at the outset of and throughout the semester. You will learn how to: Provide baseline training on department policies, even without a formal orientation Structure touchpoints throughout the semester to build positive relationships and set them up for success Involve adjuncts more meaningfully in departmental decision-making and activities Make challenging conversations productive, including ways to provide meaningful feedback and areas for improvement
As more events are cancelled and communication becomes more difficult, staying in touch with our prospects and donors is crucial. Leading institutions are using texts to connect with potential donors, increase participation rates, and get more alumni involved in philanthropy. We know that texting can play key role in our annual giving strategy in a time of social distancing, but many of us have questions before we commit to managing a new channel: Which groups should we text, and what do we say? When and how do we send the messages? How do we collect and analyze our results? Join us for a webcast that will answer the questions above and showcase how University of California Berkley used a unique and conversational peer-to-peer texting platform, ThruText, to engage donors, communicate key messages, and boost fundraising results. Learn how you can add texting to your engagement and solicitation toolbox.
