Faculty Socialization at Teaching Intensive Universities

February 17, 2010  •  1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. EST

New faculty present a dilemma for AASCU institutions. New faculty often come with an orientation to the values of the research institution where they earned their doctorate, as well as an allegiance to their discipline. Yet faculty roles in many AASCU institutions include not only research but a focus on teaching and student learning outcomes; a focus on community engagement and engaged scholarship; and an expectation for collaborative, interdisciplinary work. These roles, and a variety of others, are shaped by the particular mission and culture of AASCU institutions.

How might AASCU institutions go about the work of socializing new faculty to address institutional goals? The webinar on Faculty Socialization at Teaching Intensive Universities explores ideas and avenues to help prepare new faculty to address institutional missions and goals in addition to a traditional disciplinary orientation. The webinar addresses creating campus conditions for successful faculty development that is aligned with the goals of teaching institutions. Presenters speak to both conceptual and practical issues surrounding the increasing diversity of our institutions as well as the need for new and established faculty to become contributors to institutional goals and objectives.
