The workshops

Pre-Tenure Strategies Success and Productivity

This workshop is tailored for pre-tenure faculty audience. It will focus on the themes of mentoring, writing productivity, and work/life balance. These draw from her previous seminar topics, “Mentoring 101: How to Get What You Need to Thrive in the Academy” and “Tenure & Time Management: How to Manage Your Time so You Can Publish Prolifically AND Have a Life Beyond the Ivory Tower.”

Charting a Meaningful Post-Tenure Career

The afternoon workshop is for those faculty who are post-tenure and address topics such as  “Writing Your Next Chapter: How to Find Your Mojo and Move Forward at Mid-Career.”  Dr. Rockquemore’s Inside Higher Ed articles in 2012 have focused on post-tenure faculty. Recent articles discuss motivation for staying in academe (July 30, 2012), handling post-tenure service requests (July 23, 2012), “mid-career productivity issues” (July 9, 2012), “how mid-career academics can find their place on emotional spectrum” (July 2, 2012), “chart[ing] a meaningful post-tenure career” (June 25, 2012), and the “need for tenured faculty members to have mentoring” (November 28, 2011).
