Dear FAS and SEAS department staff,
As we enter the summer months, we are delighted to announce the launch of a series of trainings for those staff who have responsibilities related to searches and reappointments, promotions, and tenure (RPT). These interconnected, virtual trainings are designed to aid staff in developing the skills to successfully manage the search and RPT processes from start to finish, in addition to other FASDO processes.
These trainings are open to all department staff who have responsibilities related to search and RPT processes or who supervise staff who do. More details on the trainings, including registration, is below. We hope you will consider participating.
Warmest wishes,
Lisa and Sarah
