Search Committee Signals
Friday, February 3, 12-2pm, Newcomb South Meeting Room (lunch provided)
Meet Chris, a recently tenured faculty member who is chairing his first search committee. Chris has plenty to learn about facilitating equitable search processes that adjust to prevent bias -- and he has plenty to unlearn, too. Engage with this quirky search committee as they learn to align, intervene, and plan throughout their recruitment and hiring process.
