P³ (Promotion Package Prep):AdvanceRIT and the Council for the Representation & Engagement of Women Faculty (CREW) partnered to launch a new peer support group, referred to as the P³ Group, for women faculty preparing their materials for promotion to professor. The group consists of faculty from across multiple colleges (CAST, COS, GCCIS and KGCOE). The group met regularly and discussed topics such as: finding external reviewers, reviewing the individual colleges’ procedures and policies, and best practices learned from other faculty for preparing the promotion package. In August, a panel session was held with Provost Jeremy Haefner, GCCIS Dean Anne Haake, and NTID Professor Peter Hauser. They shared tips on making a compelling case for promotion. The P³ Group plans to celebrate the submission of their promotion packages soon. AdvanceRIT and CREW plan to continue the P³ Group effort for faculty considering submitting for promotion. |
