All untenured tenure-track faculty, and assistant teaching and research professors are invited to early career faculty forums sponsored by the Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence (CAFE). Forums are 4-5 p.m. every other Wednesday in Room 204 of Curtis Laws Wilson Library. The next forums will be held April 4, April 18 and May 2. Topics will include:

• April 4: “Marketing and Communications”
  Through the experience of a faculty colleague, learn what resources are available through the marketing and communications department.
• April 18: “What’s Important in Service”
  Engaging the service mission of the university may look different at various stages of your career. Discuss how to balance service with other responsibilities, and how to find service opportunities that make sense for you. Additionally, learn about the University of Missouri System Faculty Scholars Program, a valuable inter-campus opportunity for third-year faculty.
• May 2: “Promotion and Tenure at Missouri S&T”
  This forum will cover how to gauge expectations for promotion and tenure, the most important parts of the tenure dossier, and balancing the teaching, research and service missions of the university.
