UNH ADVANCE is committed to providing professional development training to UNH faculty. The following are UNH ADVANCE sponsored workshops tailored for faculty, department chairs and directors.
Gear Up is a faculty search committee training program that will help participants learn up-to-date skills and gain knowledge to maintain consistent, effective, and unbiased faculty searches as well as explore best practices for attracting and retaining the best and most representative faculty possible. This engaging professional development workshop uses a live interactive theater performance by PowerPlay Interactive Development to highlight challenges that committees often face and discuss best practices for the faculty search process, as well as the impact of microagressions and unconscious bias on a faculty search.
Where are you on your path to tenure? Where do you want to go? The UNH ADVANCE Pathways to Tenure program is specifically designed for assistant professors. The program will help you identify where you are, where you want to be, and the steps you can take to strengthen your record. You will identify and tailor goals for yourself in the three critical areas of teaching, research and service. With panel presentations and small group discussions with UNH Deans, Department Chairs, and Senior Colleagues, you will develop ideas, tools and strategies for achieving your professional goals.
As an academic leader, the chain of effective and strong academic leadership starts with you.
The Academy is currently facing unique challenges for which leadership plays a critically important role in successfully meeting these challenges. Advancing Academic Leaders (AAL), a leadership development program designed to support the continuous growth of leaders -- department chairs, program directors, coordinators and other academic leaders -- is a 4-session interactive program that highlights the knowledge, skills and approaches to successfully lead and enhance the climate in an academic organization. This leadership program builds on the successful Advancing Chairs as Leaders program (2016-18).
