Fall 2025 Reappointment, Tenure & Promotion Workshop for Decision-Makers

Dear Deans, Heads, Chairs, and Directors,
 
 
We’re hosting our annual workshop for reappointment, tenure/continuing appointment and promotion for decision-makers. This session is specifically for those who will be reviewing applications and making decisions this academic year. Our session gives decision-makers the opportunity to understand their procedural obligations. It also offers an opportunity to ask questions about topics like conflict of interest and supporting faculty who receive negative feedback.
 
This session will be facilitated by:   
  • Laura Neals, Assistant Vice-President, Labour and Employee Relations
  • Leslie Phillmore, Provost and Vice-President Academic, General
  • Jack Brown, Professional Officer, Dalhousie Faculty Association
  • Travis Perry, Membership Services Officer, Dalhousie Faculty Association 
  • Ben Tait, Director, Centre for Learning and Teaching
  • Kate Crane, Interim Coordinator, Faculty Certificate Program
     
 
Date: September 3, 2025, from 9:00-11:00 am, via TEAMS.
 
Invitation and TEAMS link to follow.
