CREATING YOUR PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO
Date: November 12, 3:30-4:30 pm, Allen 310
Registration: https://forms.gle/oz485wEjKAH7F5Xo7
This 60-minute workshop is designed to help all first-year, tenure-track faculty, clinicians, and lecturers create/revise their professional portfolios. Attendees will learn about Longwood University’s process of review for promotion and tenure (P&T), review the relevant sections of the Faculty Policies and Procedures Manual (FPPM), and develop strategies to present oneself effectively to the multiple audiences that review professional portfolios. As CAFE is not involved in the P&T process, attendees are asked to discuss departmental and college requirements with their department chairs before attending the workshop.

Date: November 21, 3:30-5:00pm, Allen 308
Registration: https://forms.gle/wcCTKzXVDvSEXUgQA
This 90-minute SU&W session is designated for all first-year, tenure-track faculty, clinicians, and lecturers. During this time, participants will write their professional portfolios using a Pomodoro technique. CAFE provides space, snacks, and stress relief items. A CAFE staff member will also be present to consult if participants would like to discuss their writing to overcome obstacles to completing their work.
