What-If-Not-Then: A Survival Kit for New Faculty
Presentation Type
Lightning Sessions (20 minutes)
Presentation Abstract (250 word max.)
In this 20-minute lightning session, participants will learn essential information about creating a new faculty survival kit, its key components, and how to apply the ideas presented at their university. This session discusses how to equip new faculty with a survival kit for "What-If-Not-Then" for adapting to a new college. To have student success, we must provide new faculty with the knowledge, connections, contact information, university background knowledge, and a sense of knowing what to do if this happens – not to - then. The presenter will introduce, discuss, and provide examples and rationales for each element of the new faculty survival kit, helping participants understand the research behind the framework and critical ideas and the purpose of creating it.
