"Now what?" is the question many mid-career faculty ask themselves, whether they are post-tenure or career faculty who have settled into their role and learned the ins and outs of faculty life at their institution. Increased service and leadership demands, plus waning institutional support, often leave mid-career faculty stuck in a cycle of busyness with little to no opportunity for reflection on, or even celebration of, their career milestones. What faculty at this stage often need is the space, support, and community to reevaluate and realign their career paths with their new experiences. This program will help you to design an intentional and strategic pathway through your mid-career by:

• Familiarizing you with the literature on the mid-career stage.
• Guiding you through reflection activities that help you take stock of where you are now, and where you want to go.
• Sharing the journeys and stories of other mid- and late-career faculty.
• Helping to you map a plan that aligns your values and well-being with your career trajectory.
• Preparing you for the inevitable detours and disruptions that will arise along your career journey.

Too often as faculty, you're asked to prioritize others’ goals before your own professional development. Take the time to prioritize your own growth and well-being!
