The New Department Chair Professional Development Learning Series (formerly the New Department Chair Boot Camp) will be offered in a modified format for the 2020-2021 academic year. This learning series will address many of the crucial aspects of the work involved in leading a department, addressing topics such as financial, personnel, and issues management, governance and effective meetings, supporting teaching and learning, mentoring faculty and staff, and outreach and development. • Part 1 of the series will be held virtually on Wednesday, August 19 and Thursday, August 20, ending by 2:00pm each day; • Part 2 of the series will include four mid-day 90-minute (likely virtual) sessions in September and October 2020 (dates to be determined); and • Part 3 of the series will be offered in January 2021, in-person or virtually, dependent upon status of the COVID19 situation.
The intended audience for this professional development opportunity is chairs who will be new to their role in the upcoming academic year.
