This workshop is designed for probationary tenure system faculty to provide assistance in functioning successfully within the tenure system at MSU. Workshop objectives include:

1. to expand faculty members' understanding of a department and University reappointment, promotion and tenure purposes;
2. to provide practical information on making choices, balancing conflicting demands, and managing departmental politics;
3. to provide an opportunity for communication and problem solving among faculty and academic administrators; and
4. to provide a venue for questions and answers. Many faculty members find it helpful to attend this program more than once, finding different elements useful at different stages of their pre-tenure experience.
