When higher education is the focus of news stories or the national spotlight, it is often not in the most flattering light. There are indeed important trends and concerns that higher education continues to work to address; however, there are also astonishing accomplishments that result from the ongoing work of institutions and their faculty. In this keynote, we briefly explored that national spotlight before focusing most specifically on the often-unheralded work that faculty perform in service to students, the public, and democracy. These endeavors are worthy of celebration. In an era where anxiety, compassion fatigue, and burnout are real threats to our faculty, this session concludes with concrete recommendations for how to meaningfully recognize faculty accomplishments as well as actions to take to ease burdens and reduce burnout.

Faculty Evaluations: Building Efficient Administrative Processes

Ongoing budget constraints and the past two years’ challenges require institutions of all sizes to do more with less. Faculty, administrative staff, and software choices are not spared from this necessity.

We know faculty members are focused on the vital work of teaching students, making valuable contributions to their fields, and providing critical service to the institution.

And your professional staff—from faculty affairs, to the provost and dean’s offices, to the departments—provide essential support for that work.

So how can you help build administrative processes that work more efficiently, and support faculty more effectively?

We invite you to watch this on-demand webinar with Kean University and the University of Rhode Island so you can hear firsthand best practices to re-engage and motivate your faculty and staff with the modern, user-friendly Interfolio platform for faculty evaluations.

Ultimately, institutions that fail to support faculty work with the right technology—rather than just any digital method—will be left behind by those that do.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• Firsthand experience from Kean University and URI about how the specialized Interfolio platform has alleviated administrative burdens for faculty and professional staff.
• The benefits (and struggles) of evolving from an existing digital system, or even moving from a paper process.
• Productive steps to take in the change management process to gain buy-in from (and hours back for) your faculty members across the board.
