Congratulations to the new members of the Board of Directors from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2022.
FAUW's new member-driven Climate Justice Working Group brings together faculty members at the University of Waterloo to generate collective action on campus—and within our broader communities—to help foster a just, climate-safe future.
This is a decentralized, action-oriented group that aims to shrink the carbon footprint of our work on campus and beyond, to build climate justice awareness on campus and in our community, and to spark related research with impact across the disciplines.
The Working Group on Sexual and Gender Diversity is hosting a follow-up to the last term's lunch event in the form of an informal drop-in coffee event for LGBTQ2S+ faculty and staff, including postdoctoral researchers, sessional instructors, research professors, and other employee groups at UW!
This is a drop-in, so don't feel pressured to be there for the whole time, but feel free to come when you can, grab some coffee, and hopefully meet some new people! Coffee should be arriving shortly after 2:00 p.m.
FAUW runs a series of workshops each year to help faculty through key transitions in their academic career. This session is for faculty recently hired for their first probationary term and will cover the requirements and some advice for probationary renewal.
These sessions are designed to provide critical information on how to succeed and to ensure you know where and how to get your questions answered. The aim is also to provide clarity on the expectations of your peers and of university policy.
This workshop will help female-identified faculty navigate the process of applying for promotion to full professor.
At Waterloo, the proportion of female faculty declines as we move up rank. We have too few female full professors, for a variety of reasons. This workshop will seek to demystify the process and offer support.
The Faculty Association of University of Waterloo (FAUW), the University of Waterloo Staff Association (UWSA), the Renison Association of Academic Staff (RAAS), and the St. Jerome's University Academic Staff Association (SJU-ASA) invite Indigenous employees of University of Waterloo and the Affiliated and Federated Institutions of Waterloo to lunch on us Monday, February 24, at noon in Hagey Hall 373.
On January 31, the Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) is hosting its winter term New Faculty Teaching Day on Friday, January 31. This day is intended for those new faculty members who arrived after (or missed) the August Teaching Orientation Days and features three of the four core CTE workshops for new faculty.
Drop by to meet other lecturers from across campus at the Grad House on January 22 between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m
We have a growing range of opportunities to get involved with FAUW, including our Board of Directors and a number of committees and working groups. This session will give you a sense of what's involved, what we’re looking for, and how to join.
Join the Lecturers Committee for an update on key issues affecting lecturers and a chance to voice your concerns.
