A year-long conversation exploring the changes, challenges, cutting-edge issues, and opportunities confronting today’s professoriate

Sign up for Colloquium Announcements

Erickson Chair Welcome The quality of an institution’s faculty relates directly to the effectiveness of universities and colleges in facilitating student learning, creating new knowledge, and linking research and practice in ways that benefit society. Yet changes are occurring that dramatically affect faculty work—changes in faculty demographics, changes in the expectations facing faculty as they do their work, changes in the pattern of faculty appointments, and changes in society’s perspectives on work. The Colloquium on the Changing Professoriate is sponsoring symposia and seminars with nationally recognized scholars and leaders to explore opportunities, changes, and challenges occurring in faculty careers and the academic workplace. The programs are of interest to a wide audience: institutional leaders including provosts, deans, and department chairs; faculty members; faculty developers; and graduate students studying issues in higher education or planning for faculty careers in a range of fields.
