Many jobs, especially academic positions, ask applicants to submit a “Statement of Commitment to Belonging” with their application materials. Many job seekers, unfortunately, treat such a document as an afterthought, when in fact it is a powerful opportunity to think about and articulate our goals, values, and the kind of faculty member or academic leader we aspire to be.

In this workshop, you will reflect on your identity and positionality and the role of creating an environment where all feel like they belong in your teaching, research, service, and community efforts. At the end of this session, you will have a working draft to tailor according to your respective needs.

Facilitator: Dr. Stefanie Baier

A Zoom link will be sent the day before the workshop.
