July 2014
Since I started at the college in 1998, I’ve heard more than a few myths about promotions. “You have to run yourself ragged serving on a million committees or you’ll never get promoted!” or even worse “It’s all about who you know!” Regardless of who you may know, having served as CPC chair, I can honestly say these are myths. There are other myths too. If you’re up for promotion now or in the near future, you’ll want to attend one of the upcoming campus promotion work- shops to gain some clarity into the process and procedures. In the coming weeks faculty who meet the time in rank requirements for promotion will receive letters from the college informing them of their eligibility for promotion. Although the FA is not part of the final decision making process, we are here to advocate for you and assist you through the entire process. It’s important that before you apply, you attend one of the three promotion workshops that will be offered this semester. The workshops are led by me and your campus executive dean. The expectations for promotion are different for each rank. Each applicant has a unique situation?individual experi- ences with teaching/working, service, and professional devel- opment?so this is your chance to get answers to your own questions from me and your campus executive dean. If you haven’t already done so, you can RSVP for the promotion workshop (and the faculty development work- shops too) at on the FA’s events page (https://afl.salsalabs.com/o/4013/ c/476/p/salsa/event/common/public).
