There are several updates this week for the Recruit and Hire Process:

• Workshops:
  
  • STRIDE Workshops for ALL Committee Members - There are four remaining STRIDE workshops that search committee members may register for. Attendance at these workshops will be tracked and permission to proceed with a search will hinge on the attendance of all committee members at one of these or a similar workshop in the past 3 years:
    
    • Wednesday, October 15 at 5:00 – 7:30PM at Lurie Engineering Center (The Johnson Rooms)
      
    • Wednesday, October 22 at 5:00 – 7:30PM at Rackham (Assembly Hall)
      
    • Thursday, October 23 at 3:00 – 5:30PM at Pierpont Commons (East Room)
      
    • Monday, October 27 at 5:00 – 7:30PM at Michigan League (Vandenberg)
    
    
  • Recruit and Hire Workshop for Committee Chairs - Wednesday, October 8th, from 9:00-10:30 am in the Johnson Rooms, the ADAA office will host a workshop for Search Committee Chairs detailing the recruit and hire process with a special presentation on dual career.
    
  • Recruit and Hire Workshop for Department Administrators - Monday, October 27th, from 1:30-3:30 pm in the Johnson Rooms, the ADAA office will host a similar workshop for Department Administrators.
  
  
• Advertising and Posting - most departments have completed this process, however, if you have not yet submitted your advertising text via eMploy for approval for open faculty positions, please do so as soon as possible. If you are using the same text and posting as last year due to a carry-over, please alert Lorelle Meadows.
  
• Updated Self-Identification Form to secure AAR information from candidates - an updated link and draft letter have been added to the ADAA web site for forwarding to open faculty position applicants in order to collect information for the AAR form.
  
• Pool Reports - this year, the ADAA office will be requesting applicant pool updates for open faculty positions on a regular basis. An updated pool report spreadsheet and guidelines for completing the spreadsheet will be provided soon on the ADAA web site. Again this year, pool report evaluations with feedback from the ADAA office must occur prior to the first visit.

Recruit and Hire:

• New templates for offer letters and other R&H documents have been loaded to the ADAA web site for the coming recruiting season.
  
• The ADAA office is in the process of scheduling R&H Workshops for both search committee chairs and unit personnel involved in the R&H process. Please watch for announcements regarding each of these events.
  
• New this year - Authority to proceed with a search is contingent upon all members of your search committee having attended a STRIDE Recruiting Workshop within the previous 3 years or committing to attend one of several available workshops this fall.

Promotion and Tenure:

• Requests for Major Review and Reappointment Committees will be going out to department chairs in the next few days. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, please feel free to contact Sherry Folsom.
  
• The ADAA office will be hosting a CRLT Players Event entitled "The Fence" on Tuesday, October 7th from 3:00 to 5:00 PM during the regularly scheduled Department Chairs meeting. This workshop focuses on the tenure process and provides a timely and thoughtful treatment of the subject for faculty involved in this decision-making process. Invited to attend are Department Chairs, CoE Executive Committee members and senior faculty from each department that play key roles in the promotion and tenure process (e.g. departmental executive committee members or full professors).
