The Future Faculty Seminar is a must for those of you interested in becoming professors. Even if you’re undecided about staying in academia, this seminar will help you to make a more informed decision. You’ll learn what it takes to be a professor—from the job application process to earning tenure—and how the job description differs at top-tier research institutions, large public schools, small private schools, and community colleges.
Officially, the Future Faculty Seminar is a course listed as INDE 231/CTL 231, offered in the fall quarter. The seminar meets once a week, featuring a host of different panel speakers at each session. The panel aspect is key, as the speakers provide a wide variety of backgrounds, knowledge and experience. For an idea of the course content, there is a detailed list of session descriptions for the Fall 2010 Future Faculty Seminar.
For more details, visit the Future Faculty Seminar website. The mastermind behind the course is Stephanie Eberle, Manager of Educational Resources and Client Services in the School of Medicine Career Center (SoMCC). This course emerged from a collaboration of the following entities: the Vice Provost for Graduate Education (VPGE), the SoMCC, the Center for Teaching and Learning, and the Career Development Center.
