Events - 2020

This workshop will explore the unique opportunities and challenges of being an associate professor or continuing lecturer—and help you plan for the next steps in your career.

This year's new faculty orientation is a series of online synchronous panel sessions, along with a virtual resource fair and a break-out session for lecturers. The virtual resource fair will give you the opportunity to visit any one or all of five virtual “rooms” to chat with representatives from a wide range of campus resources.

FAUW President Bryan Tolson will be available for online office hours Wednesdays 1:00–2:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams (except July 22).

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.

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.

dan brown, FAUW’s rep on the Provost’s Advisory Committee on Timetabling (also the FAUW treasurer and president-elect) will explain what currently happens in the class scheduling process, where and why things get tricky, and what you need to know to help things go smoothly for you and everyone else.

Registration for lunch has closed, but you can still attend!
