Letters of support and assessment are a key part of the promotion process. Are you going up for promotion and need tips on selecting referees? Are you a faculty member being asked to submit a review letter and evaluate a colleague? Are you a chair or on a promotion committee receiving and analyzing these letters? For all faculty, at all career stages, there are multiple roles in the letter writing process. During this interactive session, we will address some of the frequently asked questions related to letter writing for promotion. Join us for the PDC-sponsored roundtable discussion featuring a panel of faculty in a variety of roles with multiple perspectives and experiences to share!
