[La-cgs] Fwd: Future of Academe Event Scheduled for March 9

[B. Ramu Ramachandran]

Dear LA-CGS members:

This is the email from Jeannine Kahn about today's event. Only applies 
to UL System schools. I don't think any other administrator from 
Louisiana Tech is going. So I plan to show up with a list of our current 
faculty job openings and perhaps a few other items about living and 
working in Ruston from the Chamber of Commerce.

I agree with Sushma: This is not our audience, and those with good 
resumes seeking faculty jobs for the Fall term probably have interviews 
or offers lined up already.

Best regards,
Ramu

Graduate Deans and Directors:

In 2017, the Universities of Louisiana declared three strategic intents:

·development of the most educated and prepared generation in our state’s 
history;

·renewed emphasis on research, economic development, and innovation 
directly advancing community health and prosperity; and

·increased investment in the recruitment, retention, and development of 
faculty with a focus on excellence in teaching, scholarship, and research.

Recognizing that these aspirations cannot be realized without purposeful 
outreach to prospective high-quality faculty and staff from diverse 
demographic, experiential, and cultural backgrounds, the UL System is 
introducing *Future of Academe* with an inaugural event on March 9, 2022.

With over 11,000 students pursuing graduate degrees, the UL System has a 
wide network to recruit, retain, and cultivate the next generation of 
faculty and staff leaders. Participating graduate students will learn 
more about opportunities within the UL System through a welcoming 
networking and professional development event.

UL System graduate students pursuing (or who have recently 
completed) terminal degrees and are actively seeking 
faculty or professional staff positions or who have plans to work in 
academia are invited to attend. Attendees will have the opportunity to 
visit with provosts, deans, diversity officers, faculty attendees and 
human resources specialists from UL System member institutions about 
current and upcoming faculty and staff positions. The event will also 
include a panel discussion designed to prepare graduate students as they 
pursue university careers. Participants are encouraged to bring their 
curriculum vitae or resumes to share. The event is free to all attendees. 

Please forward this 
link<https://www.ulsystem.edu/faculty-staff/future-of-academe/>to your 
advanced terminal degree seeking graduate students and encourage them to 
register; we ask that you and other administrators take time to register 
for the event as well.  We also ask that faculty participation 
(including mentors) be encouraged, especially those who have 
been part of the System’s Management & Leadership Institute. Space will 
be limited to the first 200 registrants.

This inaugural event will coincide with the 2022 For Our Future 
Conference<https://www.ulsystem.edu/for-our-future-conference-2022/>. 
Those attending Future of Academe will finish the evening with a 
pre-conference networking reception and are invited to participate in 
the two-day conference (March 10&11).    Registration for the conference 
is still open.

Thank you for your collaboration.

Best,

Jeannine
