Avoiding a Mid-Career Crisis:
Helping Faculty Manage Their Careers

This Webinar focuses on how institutions deal with different career stages of faculty life. Early – to mid-career faculty members face a different set of challenges than those in later career stages, and institutions must be prepared to manage the expectations of faculty who are facing a "mid-career crisis." How do institutions help faculty and staff members make the choices that will shape their institutions for the future? Meanwhile, faculty members moving "in and up" in their careers will get advice on how to navigate through the challenges they face. This special editorial webinar includes findings of the 2011 Great Colleges to Work For survey, and includes interviews with institutions who have found great success with creating positive professional development programs.
