Converting Your Teaching Into Scholarship Series

The goal of our “Converting Your Teaching Into Scholarship” series is to create a community of practice at Jacobs around publishing teaching scholarship. In each session, we focus on the different steps necessary to convert teaching activities into publishable scholarship. 

Promotions in a Nutshell Workshop Series

This series--offered every year--supports faculty on all tracks and at all stages of their academic careers. Through focused sessions on particular topics led by faculty experts, you will gain a better understanding of the process, expectations and best practices for putting your best foot forward towards your next career milestone.

Our October 6 session is for tenure-track faculty:

Our October 13 session is for clinical-track faculty:

Our November 17 session is for all faculty:
