Colleagues, As we get ready to head out for the holiday break, I wanted to alert you to an important event in early January. Each year the university schedules a COEHD Tenure and Promotion forum hosted by Provost Frederick, Dean Merchant, and a selection of departmental colleagues. It is my job to manage those this year and COEHD's event is scheduled on January 14, 2016 from 2-4 pm in the Buena Vista Building (BV 1.322) of the Downtown Campus. If you are an untenured faculty member preparing for tenure review or a tenured faculty member preparing to go up for Full Professor, please plan to join us for this session. There will be ample opportunities to ask questions and to clarify the process. Additional information will be forthcoming in the new year; for now, please save the date and feel free to contact me directly if you have questions. Until 2016, have a happy and safe holiday break!
