 Dear Colleague, Register today at: http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/about/events/ si2012.htm Talk to faculty members who have attended, and they’ll tell you the value of this four-day series of skills-building workshops and issue-based seminars. Learn how to analyze your institution’s finances in the face of administrators’ claims about financial crisis. Become an expert on faculty handbooks and shared governance. Work with experienced teachers on your negotiating skills or the development of your contract language. Explore the most pressing academic issues today, from diversity in the faculty to academic freedom at religious institutions to the future of the professoriate itself. Get the skills you need to organize your colleagues, whether it be on your own campus or across your state. Find out how to use social media as part of your chapter’s media program. Learn how to run issue-based campaigns step by step, from choosing the right message to planning a demonstration to creating the most striking visuals. Take a look at the full program here: http://www.aaup.org /AAUP/about/events/ si2012.htm Last but not least, don’t forget how much fun it is to attend Summer Institute. When you’re not enjoying the Chicago labor history tour or the planned excursion to the Second City comedy show, you’ll be sure to enjoy the company of other faculty advocates in a place as entertaining as downtown Chicago. Registration closes July 4. For more information, visit the Summer Institute web page (linked above) or contact Christopher Simeone at csimeone@aaup.org. Hope to see you in Chicago! -Rudy Fichtenbaum AAUP President |
