The promotion and tenure process is a complex and often daunting journey for faculty members. With complicated criteria, secretive evaluations, and inconsistent outcomes, the path can be especially challenging for underrepresented and marginalized faculty. As higher education faces the reduction and elimination of tenure tracks, the pressure to meet competing demands and compile comprehensive review materials only adds to the stress.

To tackle these challenges, our presenter, Sylk Sotto-Santiago, EdD, MBA, Associate Vice Chancellor & Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, has authored a revealing article in the September issue of the Journal of Faculty Development (JFD) that explores Promotion Accountability Groups (PAGs) as a vital support system. Her research highlights how PAGs offer a structured, peer-supported approach to career advancement, particularly for faculty from historically underrepresented groups. With a 100% success rate, PAGs empower faculty by providing mentorship, accountability, and a sense of community, helping them navigate the promotion and tenure process with greater clarity and confidence.

In this live online seminar, our presenter will dive deeper into the concepts and research outlined in her JFD article, offering practical insights and actionable strategies for forming and sustaining effective PAGs.

  • You’ll learn how to build a supportive network, address the unique challenges of promotion equity, and implement real-world examples to achieve your academic goals.
  • By attending, you’ll gain the tools to take control of your career, overcome obstacles, and advance through the promotion and tenure process with the confidence that comes from being part of a proven, 100% successful support system.

Take the first step toward a more supported and successful academic career. Register now for this invaluable seminar and empower yourself with the knowledge and strategies needed to navigate the promotion and tenure process effectively.
