Overview
This workshop is designed for tenure-line faculty from historically underrepresented groups (e.g., women, faculty of color, LGBTQ faculty) who are interested in learning more about leadership opportunities at the University of Tennessee and in higher education. Even if leadership positions are not in your immediate plans or if you are just curious about the possibilities, we hope you will join us for a day of lively presentations and conversations.
The day will begin with an introduction to leadership and a brief overview of the university’s organizational and administrative structures, followed by an interactive discussion with a panel of current and former UT leaders from historically-underrepresented populations. After the networking lunch, we will have a lively leadership coaching session with Susan Palmer, renowned leadership development coach and consultant.
