Join the FAUW Indigenization Working Group for an informal discussion about Indigenizing performance reviews. The Indigenization Working Group aims to help faculty members better understand and take action on Indigenization and reconciliation efforts. As departments revise Annual Performance Review (APR) guidelines this fall, the Working Group has been surveying how other universities address the uniqueness of Indigenous scholarship and research in performance evaluations.

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.

We're holding a Town Hall Meeting (on Microsoft Teams) to hear what challenges our members are facing as fall term gets underway, and to gather suggestions for our upcoming round of salary negotiations.

You do not have to be a voting member to attend. All faculty represented by FAUW are welcome.

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.

Do you want to know what you can do to support Indigenous students and colleagues in STEM and learn more about how Indigenous ways of knowing relate to your field? Come learn about plans for the UW chapter of the Canadian Indigenous Science and Engineering Society.

Inspired by the example of hundreds of universities around the world, including many in Canada, FAUW's Climate Justice Working Group has proposed that FAUW declare a climate emergency with specific commitments to accelerate the Association’s ambition on climate justice.

FAUW couldn't do its work without all of our board, council, and committee representatives. We have collectively done some great work this year, and we're holding a brief online celebration of our members' efforts to make the University a better place to work. 

FAUW President Dan Brown is available for online office hours Mondays 1:00–2:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams.
